Menopause is associated with a natural decline in reproductive hormone levels and may cause hot flushes, sleep disturbances, mood changes, vaginal dryness, reduced libido, and other symptoms.
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) may be used to manage menopausal symptoms when clinically appropriate and in the absence of contraindications. Treatment is selected individually following medical consultation and appropriate assessment.
The doctor evaluates the patient’s symptoms, medical and gynecological history, individual risk factors, and available examination results. Laboratory and diagnostic investigations may be recommended when necessary.
Following assessment, the doctor determines whether HRT is appropriate and selects the medication, dosage, and treatment regimen. Regular follow-up allows the therapy to be monitored and adjusted when required.
Patients are advised to bring previous laboratory results, ultrasound and mammography reports, and other relevant medical records, as well as information about current medications and any previous hormonal therapy.
Additional investigations may be recommended before starting HRT to assess general health and individual risk factors.
The doctor evaluates menopausal symptoms, medical and family history, performs an appropriate gynecological assessment, and reviews available examination results.
After assessing potential benefits and risks, an individual menopause management strategy is developed. If HRT is prescribed, the doctor selects an appropriate regimen and establishes a follow-up schedule.
