Name: New Al Shefa Clinic
Price range: $$

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) in Dubai is a widely used medical treatment designed to restore hormonal balance in women experiencing hormonal changes due to menopause, perimenopause, or certain medical conditions. At New Al Shefa Clinic JLT, Dubai, our OB-GYN and aesthetic gynecology specialists provide personalized, evidence-based HRT programs focused on women’s health, vitality, and overall well-being.

What Is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)?

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a medical treatment that replenishes hormones—primarily estrogen, progesterone, and sometimes testosterone—that naturally decline with age, especially during menopause. The goal is to relieve symptoms, protect long-term health, and improve quality of life.
HRT is commonly used to manage:

Menopausal and perimenopausal symptoms
Hormonal imbalance
Premature ovarian insufficiency
Post-surgical menopause (after hysterectomy or oophorectomy)

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) uses hormones that are chemically identical to those naturally produced by the human body. These hormones are often derived from plant sources and customized based on individual hormone levels.
BHRT is popular in aesthetic and functional gynecology because it aims for:

Better hormone compatibility
Personalized dosing
A more “natural” hormone balance

Ways to Take HRT

HRT can be administered in multiple forms, depending on lifestyle, symptoms, and medical history:

Oral tablets
Transdermal patches
Hormone gels or creams
Vaginal creams, rings, or tablets
Subcutaneous hormone pellets

Your OB-GYN will recommend the most suitable method based on absorption, safety, and treatment goals.

How Does Hormone Replacement Therapy Work?

HRT works by restoring declining hormone levels, helping the body return to a more balanced hormonal state. This can:

Regulate body temperature
Improve mood and sleep
Support bone density
Enhance skin elasticity and hair health
Improve vaginal and urinary health

In aesthetic gynecology, hormone balance also supports skin rejuvenation, body composition, and overall feminine wellness.

How Often Do You Take Hormone Replacement Therapy?

The frequency depends on the form of HRT:

Daily (oral tablets, gels)
Weekly or twice-weekly (patches)
Every 3–6 months (pellet therapy)
Treatment duration and dosage are reviewed regularly by your doctor.

Benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy

Key benefits include:

Relief from hot flashes and night sweats
Improved sleep quality
Better mood and mental clarity
Reduced vaginal dryness and discomfort
Prevention of osteoporosis
Improved skin, hair, and sexual health

Risks of Hormone Replacement Therapy

While HRT is safe for many women, potential risks may include:

Blood clots (rare)
Breast tenderness
Irregular bleeding

Dr. Mahtab’s Professional Advice on HRT & Cancer Risk

“As an OB-GYN, one of the most common concerns I hear from patients considering Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is the fear of cancer risk. It’s important to clarify this with accurate, evidence-based information.
For appropriately selected patients, the overall risk associated with HRT is very low. Current medical data shows that risk is small (only about 4 out of 1,000 patients (0.4%) may experience this risk), varies depending on the type of hormones used, dosage, and duration, and is not applicable to all patients.
When HRT is prescribed correctly, monitored regularly, and tailored to the individual’s medical history, it is considered a safe and effective treatment for managing menopause and hormonal imbalance. For many women, the benefits — including symptom relief, improved quality of life, bone health support, and overall wellbeing — clearly outweigh the minimal risks.
My approach is always personalized. I carefully assess each patient’s health profile, family history, and hormone levels before recommending therapy. With proper medical supervision, HRT can be used confidently and safely.”

Alternatives to HRT

For women who cannot or prefer not to use HRT, alternatives include:

Lifestyle and dietary changes
Phytoestrogens
Non-hormonal medications
Vaginal rejuvenation treatments
Stress management and weight optimization

Who Shouldn’t Take Hormone Replacement Therapy?

HRT may not be suitable for women with:

History of hormone-sensitive cancers
Active liver disease
Uncontrolled high blood pressure
History of blood clots or stroke
Undiagnosed vaginal bleeding

A full OB-GYN evaluation is essential before starting treatment.

How Can I Reduce Side Effects of HRT?

Side effects can be minimized by:

Adjusting dosage
Changing the delivery method
Using bioidentical hormones
Regular follow-ups and hormone testing

Personalized care is key to long-term success.

Recovery and Outlook

HRT does not require downtime. Most women notice symptom improvement within weeks. Long-term outcomes are positive when therapy is properly monitored and individualized.

Regular follow-ups ensure optimal hormone balance and safety.

When to Call the Doctor

Contact your OB-GYN immediately if you experience:

Unusual vaginal bleeding
Chest pain or shortness of breath
Severe headaches
Leg swelling or pain
