What is HRT?

Hey everyone.

I had my first laparoscopy three months ago and was diagnosed with endo, polycystic ovaries and possible pelvic chronic.

The pain was back straight away, I fought with the doctors that it wasn't just operation pain as when you know, you know this familiar pain.

So I'm now going to have HRT injections.

I'm just wondering if anyone can provide me any insight as to what these actually are? What do they do/how do they help and what are the side effects?

When I google hormone replacement therapy it just keeps telling me about the pill or implant!

Thank you x

Hi I'm currently on HRT medication in form of patches and pills. Because of my endo Iv gone into premature menopause and I don't have any oestrogen left in my body so this medication is a way of helping me have periods the artificial way. I have to take them 4 months until I go back to see the Drs.
