Description

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) has long been a topic of interest and debate in the management of menopausal symptoms, particularly vasomotor symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats. Deidre Arms, MSN, APRN, CNP will provide a comprehensive overview of HRT, focusing on the effectiveness in alleviating vasomotor symptoms and improving the quality of life for menopausal women. You will gain insights into the physiological mechanisms underlying vasomotor symptoms and how HRT mitigates these effects.

The session will also address the potential risks associated with HRT, and how to balance these risks against the benefits. Current guidelines and recommendations from leading health organizations will be reviewed to aid in clinical decision-making. The discussion will also include alternative and complementary therapies for patients who cannot or choose not to use HRT.
