Florida Center for Hormones and Wellness welcomes new guidance recognizing the benefits of individualized hormone therapy for women navigating perimenopause and menopause.
For years, women experiencing hot flashes and night sweats have faced questions about hormone therapy, particularly concerns about estrogen, progesterone, and breast cancer risk. New guidance from the American College of Physicians (ACP) reinforces the role hormone therapy can play in helping eligible women find relief from these disruptive symptoms.
What Are Menopausal Vasomotor Symptoms?
Vasomotor symptoms (VMS) are the hot flashes and night sweats commonly experienced during perimenopause and menopause. For some women, these symptoms can disrupt sleep, affect concentration, and interfere with daily life.
Although menopause is a natural stage of life, women do not have to accept disruptive symptoms without exploring their treatment options.
What Does the New ACP Guidance Say?
The ACP recommends hormone therapy as a first-line treatment for eligible women experiencing menopausal VMS.
The organization concluded:
“For females seeking treatment for VMS, ACP concluded that estrogen in combination with progestogen and estrogen monotherapy had the most favorable benefits compared with harms.”
Estrogen combined with a progestogen is generally appropriate for women with a uterus who use systemic estrogen, while estrogen alone is generally used for women who have had a hysterectomy. This guidance highlights the importance of weighing the benefits and potential risks of treatment based on each woman’s individual circumstances.
Dr. Carrozzella’s Approach to Personalized Hormone Therapy
For years, Dr. Carrozzella has advocated for safe, responsible, and individualized estrogen and progesterone therapy. At Florida Center for Hormones and Wellness, we believe women deserve evidence-based guidance—not fear or a one-size-fits-all approach.
Hormone therapy risks vary depending on factors such as the treatment regimen, dosage, duration, age, and personal medical history. Some regimens are associated with increased breast cancer risk, making individualized evaluation and informed decision-making essential.
As Dr. Carrozzella explains, “We pair world-class hormone therapy with an individualized course of action for every woman. By considering each patient’s symptoms, health history, and goals, we develop personalized treatment strategies that prioritize safety, symptom relief, and quality of life.”
Our approach emphasizes comprehensive evaluation, thoughtful treatment selection, and ongoing monitoring to help patients make informed decisions about their hormonal health.
