Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between bioidentical and conventional HRT?▾
Bioidentical hormones have the same molecular structure as hormones your body produces naturally, while conventional HRT uses hormones derived from animal sources or synthetic compounds. Both are FDA-approved; bioidentical may offer a more personalized approach, but the choice depends on individual health factors and preferences.
How much does menopause hormone therapy cost?▾
Cost depends on the hormone type, the delivery method (pill, patch, cream or pellet), the dose, and whether a generic or brand-name medication is used. Preferred Gynecology accepts most major insurance plans; call the office at (713) 485-4302 to verify participation with your plan. Cash-pay pricing is available for uninsured patients.
Are there risks associated with hormone replacement therapy?▾
Like all medications, HRT carries potential risks including blood clots, stroke, and breast cancer with prolonged use, particularly in older women. Our providers conduct a thorough health assessment, monitor you regularly, and use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration appropriate for your situation.
How long does HRT take to work?▾
Most women experience noticeable symptom relief within 2–4 weeks, though full benefits may take 8–12 weeks. Your provider will adjust dosage or delivery method if needed to optimize symptom control.
Can I use HRT if I have a history of breast cancer?▾
HRT is generally not recommended for breast cancer survivors due to estrogen sensitivity. Non-hormonal alternatives, including SSRIs, vaginal estrogen, or lifestyle modifications, may be appropriate. Discuss your specific situation with your gynecologist.
