Which pathway addresses menopause symptoms?

Short answer

Menopausal symptoms (hot flashes, sleep, mood, cognition, vaginal changes) are routed to BHRT after the standardized biomarker panel and synchronous provider review confirm candidacy.

Full answer

Menopause is a diagnosis, not a single symptom. BHRT is the primary oMeds pathway and uses bioidentical estradiol, progesterone, and where indicated low-dose testosterone, calibrated against the biomarker panel and clinical context. Vasomotor symptoms, sleep disruption, mood, cognitive shifts, and genitourinary symptoms each inform delivery modality (transdermal, oral, injectable, topical). Cardiovascular history, breast history, and thrombotic risk are reviewed before initiation. Every plan is synchronous-video reviewed and recalibrated.

Educational. Not a substitute for individualized provider review.
