Explore this symptomChanging periods

Explore this symptomWhat a specialist considers
The same symptom can call for a different plan.
Treatment is not chosen from a symptom checklist alone. A clinician considers where you are in the menopause transition and what is safe and practical for you.
Your symptom pattern
When symptoms began, how often they occur, and how much they affect sleep, work, relationships, or daily life.
Your health history
Personal and family history, current medicines, bleeding patterns, and factors that may change the benefits or risks of treatment.
Your priorities
Which changes matter most to you, what you have already tried, and how you feel about hormonal and nonhormonal options.
What needs another setting
New, severe, or unexplained symptoms may require examination, testing, urgent care, or coordination with an in-person clinician.
Care may include
Your plan may use more than one kind of care.
ACOG and The Menopause Society describe both hormonal and nonhormonal options. The right choice depends on symptoms, medical history, preferences, and an individual discussion of benefits and risks.
Menopausal hormone therapy
Systemic hormone therapy is the most effective treatment for hot flashes and night sweats, but it is not appropriate for everyone. Form, dose, and need for a progestogen depend on the individual.
Nonhormonal prescriptions
Evidence-based nonhormonal medicines may be considered when hormone therapy is not preferred or appropriate.
Targeted vaginal treatment
Local treatment may be considered when vaginal dryness, painful sex, or urinary symptoms are the main concern.
Lifestyle and symptom support
Sleep, movement, nutrition, stress, and practical symptom strategies can support health and may complement medical treatment.
