What Is the Best Treatment for Menopause Symptoms?
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) remains the most effective treatment for menopause symptoms, according to the North American Menopause Society (NAMS). A 2024 JAMA study confirmed that for women under 60 or within 10 years of menopause onset, the benefits of HRT outweigh the risks for most patients.
Bioidentical hormone therapy uses hormones molecularly identical to those the body naturally produces, including estradiol, progesterone, and when appropriate, testosterone. The WHI follow-up studies (Manson et al., JAMA 2017, DOI: 10.1001/jama.2017.11217) demonstrated that HRT initiated near menopause onset was associated with reduced cardiovascular risk.
