Timing and Type of Hormones in Menopause
The largest meta-analyses on hormone usage in menopause involving close to 6 million women from around the world and over 50 studies revealed two important findings. First, the timing of hormone intake during menopause differs from post-menopausal hormone use. Second, the type of hormones taken is crucial, especially for women with a uterus who require estrogen combined with progesterone. The study emphasized the significance of choosing between bioidentical hormones that mimic natural hormones or synthetic versions known as progestins.
