Can Hormones Help if I Have Already Gone Through Menopause?

Q: Can hormones help if I have already gone through menopause?

A: I hear this question often as there is a school of thought that at a certain point for women, it is too late to use hormonal therapies. The scientific evidence tells us that Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is best when started within five years of menopause. However, if you have had uncomfortable symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, sleeplessness or brain fog for years, there are very few reasons not to try HRT to relieve your symptoms.

At Vital Living Healthcare, we will educate you on what science tells us about HRT for women so you can make an informed decision. We do that because we are passionate about our medical practice and our patients. Don’t you deserve that kind of care?
