I delve into the crucial topic of menopause and hormone therapy. With an estimated 2 billion women entering post-menopause by 2030, the impact of menopause cannot be overlooked.
I explore the criteria for determining good and bad candidates for hormone therapy, the reasons behind prescribing hormone therapy, and the various formulations I favor.
Drawing from the 2022 Hormone Therapy position statement by the now Menopause Society, I present compelling insights backed by extensive research, including the Women's Health Initiative and post hoc analysis.
I emphasize that hormone therapy remains the most effective treatment for vasomotor symptoms, such as hot flashes and night sweats, along with managing the genital urinary syndrome of menopause and preventing bone loss and fracture.
Prepare to gain valuable knowledge on this fundamental aspect of women's health in today's episode.
