[quote=Anonymous]Individual assessment for risks and symptoms to find the best treatment, which may include HRT. The pendulum has swung historically from HRT being widely prescribed to being rarely prescribed and I think we are coming back to a middle ground. There's also timeframe of use to consider- in the five years following natural menopause has a very different risk profile than extended use. I'm an endocrinologist and if I have considerable symptoms I would likely do a low-dose OCP in the menopausal transition time frame then discontinue a few years after natural menopause. I would avoid pellets (challenging to precisely titrate dose and if you have side effects/complications they may not be able to be removed).[/quote]
