Replacement Therapy
Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can affect how you feel in ways that aren’t always easy to connect — from sleep and energy to mood, sexual health, temperature regulation, and overall well-being.
Sometimes the changes are obvious. Other times, you simply know that something feels different.
At Haus D’ Longevity, the conversation begins with how you’ve been feeling, how those changes are affecting your life, and what you want to better understand. From there, your provider can help evaluate whether hormonal changes may be playing a role and discuss options that may be appropriate for you.
Start With What’s Changed.
Hormonal changes don’t look or feel the same for everyone.
Talk with your provider about what you’ve noticed, when it began, how it has changed over time, and how it’s affecting your daily life. Your health history, medications, priorities, and preferences all help shape the conversation.
There is no single approach that’s right for everyone. Your provider will consider your individual circumstances, whether another health concern may need evaluation, and which options may be worth discussing.
Understanding Hormone Therapy
Hormone replacement therapy can involve different hormones, formulations, doses, and methods of delivery. What may be appropriate depends on your symptoms, health history, stage of life, preferences, and individual risk factors.
If hormone therapy is being considered, your provider will discuss the specific treatment, what it is intended to address, how it is used, potential benefits and risks, reasonable alternatives, and how your response may be monitored.
A Conversation Centered Around You.
Your consultation gives you time to talk openly about how you’ve been feeling, the questions you have, and what you’d like to better understand.
Your provider will review relevant medical history, medications, supplements, and other information that may help provide context. Depending on your individual circumstances, an examination, laboratory testing, or additional evaluation may be appropriate.
A consultation does not automatically mean hormone therapy will be recommended. The goal is to better understand what you’re experiencing and determine what options, if any, may make sense for you.
Frequently Asked
Questions
Do I need to wait until menopause to discuss hormone changes?
No. Perimenopause can begin before menopause, and symptoms or concerns can be discussed at any stage of the transition and afterward.
Do I need laboratory testing before starting hormone therapy?
Not necessarily. Whether testing is useful depends on your symptoms, medical history, and the specific treatment being considered. Your provider can explain what evaluation may be appropriate for you.
Are there options besides hormone therapy?
Yes. Depending on your symptoms, health history, preferences, and goals, nonhormonal options may also be considered.
Is hormone therapy right for everyone?
No. Whether hormone therapy is appropriate depends on individual factors, including symptoms, medical history, risk factors, and the specific treatment being considered.
Will I need follow-up?
If you begin treatment, follow-up allows your provider to assess how you’re responding, discuss any concerns or side effects, and determine whether adjustments may be appropriate.
Begin With How You Want to Feel.
You don’t need to know whether hormones are the answer before you come in.
Start with what you’ve noticed, how you’ve been feeling, and what you’d like to better understand. Your provider can help you determine what may be worth exploring from there.
