Is it right for me?

Who is a good candidate

Hormone therapy may help women in perimenopause or menopause with hot flashes, night sweats, poor sleep, mood changes or vaginal dryness, and men with symptoms of low testosterone such as fatigue, low libido and loss of muscle.

It is not right for everyone. Your provider will review your personal and family history, including breast or prostate cancer, blood clots, stroke, heart disease and liver disease, and will discuss the benefits and risks with you before you start.
