Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Endocrinology
  • Women's Health
  • Hormone Therapy

Background:

  • Menopausal and perimenopausal issues present unique challenges in women's healthcare.
  • A wide array of hormone therapies, combinations, and delivery systems are now available for treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline key considerations for optimizing hormone therapy outcomes in menopausal women.
  • To provide guidance on individualized treatment strategies and follow-up protocols.

Main Methods:

  • Pretreatment assessment of patient history and risk factors.
  • Explanation of treatment benefits and potential risks to patients.
  • Individualized therapy selection based on patient needs and uterine status.

Main Results:

  • Estrogen-only therapy is indicated for women with a uterus.
  • Combined continuous estrogen-progestogen therapy requires further investigation.
  • Progestogen therapy continuation for 2-3 years post-implant cessation is advised for women with a uterus.
  • Yearly endometrial biopsy may be necessary for women on estrogen-only therapy due to severe progestogen side effects.

Conclusions:

  • Optimal hormone therapy for menopausal symptoms necessitates careful pretreatment evaluation, patient education, and individualized treatment.
  • Long-term hormone therapy may be considered for maximal preventative benefits.
  • Management strategies differ based on uterine presence and patient tolerance to progestogens.
