Yes, it can be an option. Many women start hormone therapy during perimenopause, while periods are irregular but have not stopped. A licensed clinician reviews your symptoms and history and decides whether it is right for you.
What is perimenopause?
It is the transition before menopause, often starting in your 40s. Hormone levels rise and fall unevenly, which can cause hot flashes, sleep problems, mood changes and irregular periods.
What the clinician looks at
- Your symptoms and how much they affect daily life
- Your bleeding pattern
- Personal or family history of blood clots, stroke, heart disease or breast cancer
- Whether you still need contraception, since hormone therapy is not birth control
Options may include estradiol (pill, patch, cream or vaginal), Bi-Est, progesterone, testosterone cream. Your clinician decides what, if anything, fits.
