HRT means you'll be on artificial hormones forever.
For many patients, HRT helps rebalance hormones so they can taper off treatment. Their improved lifestyle habits then help maintain positive effects.

Mindset
It may take a few months to determine optimal therapies and dosing. Embrace patience and self-care throughout the journey.
