The Importance of Hormone Therapy in Menopause
Hormone therapy is a safe and effective treatment for menopausal symptoms, despite concerns stemming from the Women's Health Initiative study. Starting hormone therapy within 10 years of menopause provides cardiovascular and neuroprotection, while also benefiting bone health, muscle function, and genitourinary health. The choice of dosage and delivery method should be tailored to each individual's needs, considering factors like symptom severity and the presence of a uterus. Transdermal patches are a popular option due to their consistent hormone delivery, but oral hormone therapy may be necessary for some patients. Regular monitoring and individualized treatment plans are essential for optimizing the benefits and minimizing risks.
