Hormone Therapy in Menopause: Expert Insights - Ep 190

Drs. Shannon Finks and Sarah McBane discuss their July 2026 narrative review, “Menopausal Hormone Therapy: A Narrative Review of Contemporary Evidence.” They describe menopause as a multisystem transition with vasomotor, mood/cognitive, cardiometabolic, and genitourinary symptoms, noting many women see multiple clinicians before diagnosis. They emphasize that menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) formulation, route, timing, and patient selection matter. They discuss MHT benefits for symptom relief, bone protection, and genitourinary symptoms, nuances around cardiovascular, cancer, and cognition outcomes, FDA labeling updates, and more.
