A thoughtful conversation at every transition.
Hormonal transitions can prompt questions about sleep, temperature changes, periods, sexual health, and quality of life. Assessment considers your symptoms and health history, including other possible explanations.
What to discuss at your visit
- Review symptoms, menstrual history, medications, and personal and family health history.
- Discuss whether testing is useful for your circumstances.
- Consider hormonal and nonhormonal options, benefits, risks, and follow-up.
Suitability & safety
Hormone therapy is not suitable for everyone. Risks depend on the medication, route, dose, duration, and individual history. Discuss clotting, cancer, cardiovascular, and other relevant risks with your clinician. A prescription is not guaranteed.
Focus on what matters most now
Identify the concern affecting your day and compare the approaches that could reasonably address it. Ask how the recommendation accounts for your history and how care will fit with your gynecology or primary care team.
Common questions
Do symptoms always mean a hormone imbalance?
No. Similar symptoms can have several causes. Evaluation helps guide appropriate care rather than assuming a hormone diagnosis.
Are there options besides hormone therapy?
Yes. Depending on your concerns, the conversation may include nonhormonal medication, lifestyle approaches, or referral.
