Women who start hormone therapy at age 60 or older or more than 10 years after the start of menopause are at greater risk of suffering from the above conditions. You may be able to control menopausal hot flashes with healthy lifestyle approaches, such as staying cool, limiting caffeinated drinks and alcohol, and practicing regular, relaxed breathing or other relaxation techniques. There are also several over-the-counter hormone medications that can help ease hot flashes. Age is a major risk factor for hormone therapy. Women over 60 who start hormone therapy are generally at greater risk.
Starting hormone therapy before age 60 and continuing treatment isn't as risky, but long-term HRT has greater risks the longer you continue with treatment. Talk to your doctor when considering hormone therapy to determine if the benefits outweigh the risks for you. Hormonal hormone therapy can significantly reduce these risks, and it's important to take it until age 51, the average age to reach menopause in the UK. That's why, after four years, or when you turn 55 (the age at which most women have stopped menstruating), your treatment should be changed to continuous combined hormone replacement therapy.
Hormonal hormone therapy is the most important way to prevent and treat osteoporosis in women with premature ovarian failure (POI) and menopausal women younger than 60 years of age, especially those with menopausal symptoms. It is essential that an experienced healthcare professional adapt HRT to your needs, as menopausal treatment is not the same for everyone. If you're worried that this means you've been receiving hormone replacement therapy for years, it's worth remembering that all you're doing is replacing the estrogen your body would naturally produce. at that age.
There is no right answer to the question of how long hormone replacement therapy should be taken, and there is no arbitrary age limit. If they don't provide hormone replacement therapy or have age limits that affect you, they may be able to refer you to other providers in your area. Not all Planned Parenthood health centers offer hormone replacement therapy, but all Planned Parenthood health centers provide a safe and welcoming place for transgender and non-binary patients of any age.
