Hormone therapy through Embirwell

Hormone therapy for menopause symptoms.

Hormone replacement therapy, often called HRT, can relieve menopause-related hot flashes, night sweats and vaginal symptoms. A licensed clinician reviews your health before recommending a prescription.

Start the assessment

What a treatment decision includes

The symptoms you want to improve
Their frequency, severity and effect on your day.
Your health and menstrual history
Current medicines, bleeding, previous surgery and relevant risks.
The medicine and how you use it
The treatment route, schedule, side effects and follow-up.

Different medicines have different jobs.

The symptoms being treated and whether you have a uterus shape the prescription. Your clinician will explain which formulations are available through your plan and suitable for you.

For hot flashes and night sweats

Systemic estrogen

Estrogen that reaches the bloodstream can treat symptoms throughout the body. Patches and tablets are examples. The formulation, dose and your health history affect the choice.

Compare tablets and patches

To protect the uterine lining

Progesterone or another progestogen

If you have a uterus, systemic estrogen usually needs a progestogen alongside it to protect the lining. Progesterone is one type of progestogen. Your clinician explains the prescribed schedule.

Understand estrogen and progesterone

For vaginal dryness and discomfort

Low-dose vaginal estrogen

Local treatment targets vaginal symptoms and has much lower exposure throughout the body. Creams, tablets and low-dose rings are examples. It serves a different purpose from systemic hot-flash treatment.

Before prescribing

Your history guides the safety review.

Tell the clinician about unexplained vaginal bleeding, cancer, blood clots, stroke, heart disease and liver disease, along with your current medicines. Some histories make systemic hormone therapy unsuitable or require specialist assessment.

Read about HRT risks

Once treatment begins

Keep a record of the symptoms you wanted to improve and any side effects. At review, these details help your clinician decide whether the dose, formulation or treatment needs changing.

Ask for clear instructions about spotting or bleeding and when to seek assessment. Follow the prescribed schedule, including any progesterone or other progestogen.

HRT does not provide contraception. Discuss pregnancy prevention separately if pregnancy is possible.

Questions about starting HRT.

Can I take HRT during perimenopause?

Hormone therapy may be considered while you are still having periods. Your cycle, symptoms, contraception and medical history influence the regimen. You can begin with the perimenopause and menopause assessment.

Can I choose between a patch and a tablet?

Tell the clinician about your preferences and any difficulty with tablets or skin products. The options have different routines and risk profiles. The prescription depends on clinical suitability and the formulations available through your plan.

What if I prefer to avoid hormones?

You can discuss nonhormonal prescription treatment and other approaches for the symptoms affecting you. Mention your preference during the assessment and clinical review.

Does completing the assessment guarantee a prescription?

A prescription follows a licensed clinician's review of your symptoms and health. Some people need testing, an examination or specialist care before a treatment decision can be made.
