MIDI HEALTH’S KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Evaluate Breast Cancer Risk: If you have a family history or genetic predisposition, consult with a specialist about hormone therapy and preventive measures.
- Consider Vaginal Estrogen: For vaginal dryness, vaginal estrogen can help, even if you have a history of breast cancer or a breast cancer patient.
- Assess Heart Health: Get a coronary calcium scan to evaluate heart health before starting hormone therapy.
- Consider Hormone Therapy Under The Age of 60: Discuss the potential benefits of bioidentical hormones with your doctor, 10 years before your menopause. The timing hypothesis says that the benefits of hormones tend to outweigh the risks if you start people within that 10-year window.
- Explore Non-Hormonal Alternatives: Lifestyle, dietary changes, and non-hormonal alternatives like CBT can help in managing menopausal symptoms
