What hormone therapy is
Through perimenopause and menopause the ovaries make less estrogen, and the drop is what drives hot flashes, night sweats, broken sleep, mood swings, and vaginal dryness for many women. Hormone therapy is prescription estradiol or estriol — taken through the skin as a clear topical, a cream, or a patch, or applied locally as a vaginal cream — prescribed to help manage those symptoms when a clinician determines it's appropriate for you.
Pallas plans are estrogen-only. For women who still have a uterus, systemic estrogen — the clear topical, cream, or patch — is generally prescribed together with a progestogen to protect the uterine lining, and Pallas doesn't currently prescribe progesterone; your clinician may decide an estrogen-only plan isn't the right fit and explain what to ask your own doctor for instead. Vaginal estriol cream is a local preparation and is typically considered without one.
Forms, safety, and risks are on the hormone therapy program page.
