Estradiol hormone therapy
Hormone therapy may be considered for selected menopause symptoms.
Benefits & considerations
When hot flashes interrupt your day and night sweats break up your sleep, hormone therapy may help you feel more comfortable. Systemic estradiol can relieve these symptoms; an evaluation helps determine whether its benefits outweigh the risks for you.
Your symptoms, health history and preferences guide the formulation and route. If you have a uterus, a progestogen is generally needed with systemic estrogen to protect the uterine lining. Local vaginal estradiol addresses dryness and discomfort instead.
