Frequently Asked Questions

Research shows that when patients start treatment within 10 years of menopause the benefits of HRT tend to outweigh the risks. But for some women, it makes sense to start earlier: You can begin hormone replacement therapy at the first sign of menopause symptoms, even if you’re in perimenopause and still getting your period.

For women who start HRT outside of that 10-year window, there’s a null effect on cardiovascular disease risk, meaning that you won’t get the heart-bolstering benefits from HRT, but it may not increase your chance of heart trouble either.

Hormone replacement therapy came under fire after a 2002 Women’s Health Initiative study linked it to an increased risk of breast cancer and heart disease. Women panicked and many doctors stopped prescribing HRT altogether.

‍That study was conducted over 20 years ago. These days, we know much more about HRT and guidelines have changed. A large body of recent research shows that if women start hormone therapy within 10 years of their last period, they experience a significant reduction in menopausal symptoms and a lower risk of heart disease and bone loss.
