All types of HRT contain an oestrogen hormone. If you take HRT it replaces the oestrogen that your ovaries no longer make after the menopause. Some types contain a progestogen hormone as well.
However, if you just take oestrogen then the lining of your womb (uterus) builds up. This increases your risk of developing cancer of the womb.
