I have been in Menopause for a long time. Is it safe to start HRT in my 60’s and 70’s?Updated a year ago

Starting HRT in your 60s or 70s, particularly with bioidentical hormones, can be safe and beneficial for many women. The process must be personalized, involving a healthcare provider skilled in bioidentical hormone therapy to evaluate your health profile, symptoms, and goals. The "estrogen window" theory highlights that the timing of HRT initiation affects its benefits and risks, with potential advantages for bone and possibly heart health when started earlier, but relief from menopausal symptoms and improved quality of life can still be achieved when initiated later. 

Bioidentical hormones are often recommended for their safety and effectiveness. Deciding to start HRT should be based on a thorough evaluation of the benefits and risks for your specific situation.
