When to Start Hormone Therapy for Perimenopause

Timing matters — and so does understanding your symptoms. At Be. Women’s Health in Frisco, TX, we help women determine the right moment to consider hormone therapy (HT).

You may benefit from starting HT if:

✔ Your periods are irregular
✔ Hot flashes interrupt sleep
✔ Mood feels unpredictable
✔ You’re experiencing new anxiety
✔ Sex has become uncomfortable
✔ Night sweats are frequent
✔ Fatigue or brain fog affect daily life

Why timing matters:

Hormone therapy is most effective — and safest — when started during:
Early perimenopause OR within 10 years of your final period.

Starting too late reduces benefits and increases certain risks.

Who is not a candidate?

Women with certain cancers, clotting disorders, liver disease, or uncontrolled high blood pressure may need alternatives.

What hormone therapy can help with:

• Hot flashes
• Sleep problems
• Mood
• Libido
• Vaginal dryness
• Joint aches
• Energy

You don’t have to wait until menopause to feel relief.
