HRT stands for Hormone Replacement Therapy. It differs from CHRT in the type of hormone(s) used. Any type of hormone may be prescribed in HRT. Most commonly, physicians will use either hormones extracted from the urine of pregnant horses, or hormones assembled in a laboratory. Neither type is identical to the human hormone molecule. The improper ratios and different chemical structures account for treatment failures and the potential for side effects.
