Treatments to explore
One of the most important steps on this journey is finding a doctor you can trust, someone who is both informed about the latest science and attentive to your personal health goals. You deserve a healthcare provider who sees you as a partner in health, helping you understand each option and making sure you feel comfortable and supported. As you start exploring hormone health care, here’s a breakdown of three common treatments to help you make sense of the landscape and a collection of menopause tools and videos to help you learn more.
hormone therapy(HT)
Hormone therapy is one of the most widely discussed treatments for menopausal symptoms, yet it’s also one of the most controversial. For years, concerns about breast cancer, heart disease, and blood clots kept HT on the sidelines of many women’s healthcare plans. However, recent research has started to paint a more nuanced picture. Studies show that certain types of hormone therapy, when tailored specifically to the individual, can be both safe and effective, especially when started early in the menopausal transition.
Non-hormonal options
If hormone therapy doesn’t feel right for you, there are effective non-hormonal options worth exploring. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) have shown benefits in managing hot flashes and mood changes for some women. Meanwhile, gabapentin and clonidine are often prescribed for women who want non-hormonal approaches to reducing hot flashes and sleep disturbances.
