Can you please tell me how hormone theropy and birth control differ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mostly dosage: Birth control pills have a considerably higher level of estrogen and progesten hormones than hormonal medications used after menopause. The higher doses are necessary to suppress ovulation. After menopause, only much smaller doses are needed to manage symptoms some women have.
