Vanessa Weiland, a certified menopause practitioner, explains when hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is warranted after hysterectomy while still having ovaries. She breaks down the progression of perimenopause symptoms and emphasizes that treatment is appropriate whenever these symptoms impact quality of life.
• Without periods as markers, focus on recognizing other menopausal symptoms
• Early perimenopause often presents with anxiety and sleep issues due to declining progesterone
• Middle perimenopause brings classic symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness
• Less recognized symptoms include heart palpitations, itchy skin, joint pain, and brain fog
• Symptoms usually peak around what would have been the final period, then gradually improve
• HRT is reasonable to pursue whenever symptoms affect quality of life
• Treatment is generally safe and can serve as both therapy and diagnostic tool
