Determining if you’re a good candidate for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) involves a comprehensive evaluation of your medical history, current symptoms, hormone levels, and overall health. Your healthcare provider will assess factors such as your age, symptoms of hormone imbalance, existing medical conditions, and potential risks and benefits of treatment. Additionally, diagnostic tests such as blood tests will be performed before your initial treatment and repeated yearly to evaluate hormone levels and identify any underlying health concerns. Based on this evaluation, your provider will determine if HRT is a suitable option for addressing your individual needs and goals.
