Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) provides women with the female hormones that decrease as they age. When the hormone estrogen is given alone, it is usually referred to as "ERT." When the hormone progestin is combined with estrogen, it is generally called "HRT."

Estrogen is a female hormone that brings about changes in other organs in the body. Progesterone is a female hormone that prepares the uterus for a pregnancy each month. During the transition to menopause ("perimenopause") these hormone levels start to fluctuate, causing some uncomfortable symptoms. When the ovaries stop producing estrogen and progesterone, menstrual periods cease and the woman has experienced menopause.

Recently, U.S. government scientists stopped a major study of hormone replacement therapy on the risks and benefits of combined estrogen and progestin in healthy menopausal women, citing an increased risk of invasive breast cancer.

Researchers from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health also found increases in coronary heart disease, stroke and pulmonary embolism.

About 6 million women in the United States are taking estrogen and progestin for various reasons, including relief of menopausal symptoms and long-term use for the prevention of heart disease and brittle bones.
