Is Hormone Replacement Therapy Right For You?

HRT is not one-size-fits-all.

Hormone changes during perimenopause and menopause can affect many areas of health, including sleep, mood, metabolism, and overall quality of life. For some women, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may be an appropriate option to consider as part of a comprehensive care plan.


However, HRT is not one-size-fits-all. The decision to begin hormone therapy should be based on:


• Your individual symptoms

• Your medical history

• Personal and family risk factors

• Your health goals and preferences

• A thorough discussion of risks and benefits


An individualized evaluation is essential to determine whether hormone therapy is appropriate for you.
