Medically Supervised Menopause
and Perimenopause Care
Hormone therapy is a medically supervised treatment used to address certain symptoms associated with perimenopause and menopause when clinically appropriate. Treatment is individualized based on symptoms, medical history, risk factors, current medications, and laboratory review when indicated.
Common symptoms may include:
Hot flashes and night sweats
Vaginal dryness or discomfort
Sleep disturbance
Mood changes
Brain fog or reduced concentration
Low libido
Not all patients are candidates for hormone therapy. A provider evaluation is required to determine whether treatment is appropriate.
Types of Hormone Therapy
Treatment plans are individualized and may include:
Estrogen Therapy
Estrogen therapy may be considered for eligible patients based on symptoms, medical history, and menopause status. For some patients, estrogen may be used alone, such as after hysterectomy.
Estrogen + Progesterone Therapy
For patients with an intact uterus, progesterone may be included with estrogen therapy to reduce the risk of endometrial hyperplasia.
Testosterone Therapy
Testosterone may be considered for carefully evaluated patients with clinically significant hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) when appropriate.
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) Methods of Delivery
Depending on the treatment plan, hormone therapy may be prescribed in forms such as:
Oral tablets
Transdermal patches
Topical creams or gels
Vaginal creams, tablets, or rings
Other dosage forms when clinically appropriate
All prescriptions are fulfilled through licensed U.S. pharmacies. When compounded medications are used, they are dispensed by properly licensed compounding pharmacies based on patient-specific needs and provider judgment.
Potential Effects of Hormone Therapy
When appropriately prescribed, hormone therapy may help improve certain menopause-related symptoms, including:
Hot flashes and night sweats
Vaginal symptoms
Sleep-related symptoms
Bone health support in appropriate patients
Individual response varies, and ongoing monitoring is required.
Alternatives to Hormone Therapy
Hormone therapy is not appropriate for every patient. Depending on symptoms, health history, and treatment goals, alternatives may include:
Non-hormonal prescription medications
Vaginal moisturizers or lubricants
Lifestyle modifications
Cognitive behavioral therapy for vasomotor symptoms
Additional evaluation or referral when indicated
Your provider will discuss appropriate options based on your individual clinical situation.
Risks & Safety Considerations of HRT
Hormone therapy is not appropriate for everyone. Potential risks may include blood clots, stroke, breast cancer, endometrial cancer in certain patients, and gallbladder disease. Risks vary based on medical history, age, treatment type, and other individual factors.
Your provider will review risks, benefits, alternatives, and contraindications before prescribing.
Lifestyle & Long-Term Wellness
For many patients, menopause care may also include discussion of lifestyle measures that support long-term health and symptom management, including:
Regular physical activity
Balanced nutrition
Healthy weight management
Smoking cessation
Stress reduction
Sleep support strategies
Treatment recommendations are individualized and may include both medical and non-medical approaches depending on patient needs.

“Bioidentical” refers to hormones chemically identical to those produced by the body. Safety depends on proper dosing, patient selection, and medical monitoring rather than the label alone.
Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. They are prepared by licensed pharmacies when commercially available products do not meet a patient’s specific clinical needs.
Potential risks may include blood clots, stroke, or breast cancer. Risk depends on age, health history, and hormone type. Your provider will review your individual profile before prescribing.
There is no universal timeline. The lowest effective dose for the shortest appropriate duration is typically recommended, with ongoing reassessment based on symptoms.
Hormone therapy does not directly cause weight gain. Metabolic shifts during menopause are common; a structured nutrition and exercise plan is often recommended alongside treatment.
Laboratory testing may be ordered when clinically indicated. Decisions are based primarily on symptoms and medical history rather than lab values alone.
Testosterone may be considered for clinically diagnosed hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD). This use is considered off-label and requires informed consent.
