Understanding hormone replacement therapy includes learning about different types of estrogen such as estradiol and conjugated equine estrogens, as well as the various administration methods like oral, transvaginal, and transdermal. The preferred starting treatment is often transdermal estradiol through patches that are placed on specific areas for consistent absorption. The location where the patch is placed matters as absorption rates can vary between different body parts. Additionally, apart from patches, hormone replacement therapy can also be administered through a transvaginal ring, which can either deliver estrogen into the body or stay localized in the vagina.
