Age alone doesn’t determine when support is appropriate but symptoms do. Hormone therapy may be considered when significant symptoms are present, including mood changes or severe premenstrual patterns. Care decisions are based on individual needs, guided by clinical assessment rather than age alone. #womenshealth #hormonehealth #menopausesupport #midlifecareer #healtheducation ----------------- Follow…
