Hormonal changes are a natural part of life, but that does not mean you have to live with the symptoms. Hot flashes, mood changes, sleep disruption, and low energy can all be addressed with hormone therapy. Today, accessing treatment is easier than ever through telehealth.
Common Symptoms That Hormone Therapy Can Help
Women seek hormone therapy for a range of symptoms, including hot flashes and night sweats, mood swings and irritability, vaginal dryness, sleep disturbances, fatigue and low energy, and decreased bone density. These symptoms are most common during perimenopause and menopause but can occur at other stages as well.
Types of Hormone Therapy
The two main hormones used in therapy are estradiol (a form of estrogen) and progesterone. Estradiol helps address most menopause-related symptoms, while progesterone is often prescribed alongside estradiol for women who still have their uterus. Treatment formats include tablets, patches, creams, and other delivery methods.
Is It Safe?
Hormone therapy has been extensively studied. When prescribed appropriately and monitored by a clinician, it is considered safe for most women, especially when started near the onset of menopause. Your clinician will review your health history, including any risk factors, before recommending treatment.
The Telehealth Advantage
Accessing hormone therapy through telehealth means no waiting weeks for a specialist appointment. You complete an intake online, a licensed clinician reviews your information, and if appropriate, your prescription is sent to a pharmacy and delivered to your home. Follow-up support is available through your patient portal whenever you need it.
Getting Started
If you are experiencing symptoms that are affecting your quality of life, the first step is completing a telehealth intake. A licensed clinician will evaluate your symptoms and health history to determine the most appropriate treatment plan. There is no obligation, and you will have the information you need to make a confident decision.
