Take-Home MessageTreatment Strategy
HT is the most effective treatment for menopause-related symptoms and their potential consequences (diminished sleep quality, irritability, QOL)
Progestogen therapy is required to prevent endometrial cancer when estrogen is used systemically in women with a uterus
Observational data shows that transdermal estrogen leads to fewer strokes and VTE/PE than oral therapy
Local low-dose estrogen therapy is effective and preferred for women whose symptoms are limited to vaginal dryness or discomfort with intercourse
