Saralnama2024 marked a turning point for Mini Mathur as she began bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for menopause. The Indian TV host shared on Instagram that HRT helped her reclaim energy and clarity. Mathur uses estradiol gel and progesterone pills. HRT replaces hormones the body stops producing during menopause. Dr Shalini Vijay explains HRT can be systemic or local, with various types like estrogen-only, combined estrogen-progestin, transdermal, oral, injectable, and vaginal therapies. While HRT can relieve symptoms like hot flashes and prevent bone loss, it may increase risks of certain cancers. Side effects can include monthly bleeding and mood changes. Experts advise consulting a doctor before starting any treatment. (Updated 20 Oct 2025, 02:39 IST; source: link)
