Menopause is about a lot more than hot flashes, and menopausal hormone therapy can be about more than treating them.
In this episode of MamaDoc Baby Doc, MamaDoc breaks down menopausal hormone therapy (MHT). What is it? Who might benefit? What do we now know about its risks and benefits?
We talk about symptoms you may not immediately connect to menopause, including sleep disruption, mood changes, brain fog, vaginal and urinary symptoms, sexual health concerns, tendon and joint pains, and changes in bone health. We will discuss estrogen, progesterone, and different ways hormones can be taken. We'll discuss why treatment should be individualized rather than one-size-fits-all.
And what about the headlines many women have heard for decades? Does hormone therapy increase your risk of breast cancer? What about heart disease? Is there a right time to start?
Menopause is a major health transition, not simply a collection of hot flashes. Let's talk about what hormone therapy can and can't do, so women can make informed decisions about their health.
