	Hormone replacement therapy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a system of medical treatment for perimenopausal and postmenopausal women, based on the assumption that it may prevent discomfort and health problems caused by diminished circulating estrogen hormones.
		HRT is also used by transgendered or transsexual people to aid them in attaining the secondary sex characteristics of their desired sex.
		HRT is seen as either a short-term relief (often one or two years, usually less than five) from menopausal symptoms (hot flashes, irregular menstruation, fat redistribution etc.) or as a longer term treatment to reduce the risk of osteopenia leading to osteoporosis.
