Many women experience bothersome symptoms related to menopause such as hot flashes, mood changes, pain with intercourse, low libido, brain fog/trouble concentrating, and trouble sleeping. These symptoms can disrupt your life but there is help. Some women find relief using natural remedies, lifestyle changes, and meditation but others suffer from their symptoms for many years. These women may need prescription help, in the form of hormone therapy, to find relief and begin to feel like themselves again. Every woman is different.

Hormone therapy is one of the most beneficial treatments for menopausal symptoms. The potential benefits of hormone replacement therapy are improved sleep, mood, energy, and concentration. It can protect your brain, heart, and bone health as well. You should speak with your healthcare provider to see if HRT may be an option for you.

As with all medications, HRT can some with some potential risks. To greatly reduce these risks, it is recommended that if you are younger than 60-years old or within 10-years of your last menstrual period, the benefits can outweigh the potential risks. Some women initiated on HRT can experience side effects such as headaches, nausea, breast tenderness, mood changes, and spotting. These side effects are usually temporary and resolve with time.
