Correct if you’ve been on birth control pill hormone replacement therapy is not contraindicated as long as there’s no new risk factors when transitioning into replacement therapy

Thank you Dr, love the quizzes. Will the vaginal oestrogen helps towards insomnia? Does the Insomnia phases ever go away? 😢thanks.

[@Pezhman101]

Vaginal estrogen only helps with the vaginal dryness and does not typically help the insomnia .
Insomnia is very much correlated with how much hot flashes lingers over time the less hot flashes, the less insomnia

@@Pezhman101Not true. Not every woman has hot flashes and those that don’t can still experience insomnia during perimenopause and menopause.

[@Pezhman101]

@@jt8142 exactly not every woman experiences hot flushes. Insomnia is mainly secondary to the hormone changes and overtime. It improves, but in some patients it takes a long time.

How long after post menopause do symptoms go away ?

[@Pezhman101]

@@Menosuxs that varies amongst patients. It depends on how abruptly they go into menopause or is it progressive. If they abruptly go to menopause, the hot flushes tend to be worse if they slowly go into menopause appeared the time that flushes are not so severe but overtime, they get better and go away. Every patient is different symptoms can last anywhere from six months to a few years
