Side effects from hrt

As with all medicines, there are side effects associated with HRT. Some women taking HRT may experience water retention, bloating, nausea, breast soreness, mood swings, and headaches. Changing the dosage or the form of HRT may help to alleviate these side effects.

Some women have irregular bleeding when they start taking HRT, but changing the dosage often eliminates this side effect.
