HRT or MHT? What is the difference?
What is the difference between HRT and MHT?
When we use the term hormone replacement therapy (HRT), it seems to convey that we are trying to replace hormones to replicate the levels of a young woman
BUT
In reality what we are trying use hormone therapy for the treatment of menopausal symptoms and for the prevention of conditions that increase post menopause
Therefore, the term menopausal hormone therapy or MHT seems to be more appropriate.
Bottomline, MHT is the new HRT - and that's what we are going to call it henceforth!
