There's no one-size-fits-all approach to hormone replacement therapy. The right treatment depends on your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, and preferences. Here's what you need to know about each option.
Hormones structurally identical to those your body naturally produces. Available in patches, creams, pellets, and oral forms. Often preferred by women seeking a more 'natural' approach to HRT.
Learn moreOften the missing piece in hormone therapy. Testosterone can improve energy, libido, mood, mental clarity, and muscle mass. Currently off-label in the US but increasingly recognized as beneficial.
Learn moreEssential for women with a uterus taking estrogen. Micronized progesterone (Prometrium) is preferred over synthetic progestins for its favorable safety profile and sleep-promoting effects.
Learn moreCustom-mixed hormones prepared by compounding pharmacies. Can be tailored to exact doses and combinations, but aren't FDA-regulated in the same way as commercial HRT products.
Learn moreTransdermal patches deliver a steady dose of estrogen through the skin. Often considered the safest delivery method, with lower risk of blood clots compared to oral estrogen.
Learn moreTiny pellets inserted under the skin release hormones consistently for 3-6 months. No daily dosing to remember — a popular 'set it and forget it' option.
Learn moreTopical estrogen and progesterone applied to the skin daily. Allows for flexible dosing and avoids first-pass liver metabolism.
Learn moreTraditional pill form of hormone therapy. Convenient and widely prescribed, though transdermal options may be safer for women with certain risk factors.
Learn moreInjectable estrogen and testosterone delivered via intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. Provides consistent hormone levels between doses, typically administered weekly or biweekly.
