Menopause & HRT · Hormonal care
Symptoms-led care for perimenopause and menopause. You don't shop SKUs — you take a focused symptoms assessment, and your clinician personalizes a regimen from our formulary of estradiol, progesterone, biest, and combination preparations.

What you might be feeling
You don't need to wait until it's "bad enough." Many women find earlier conversations with a clinician make symptoms easier to talk about and easier to manage.
The flush comes on, sometimes during a meeting, sometimes at 3am soaking your sheets. Vasomotor symptoms are one of the most common — and most disruptive — signs of hormonal change.
The word doesn't come. The decision feels heavier than it should. Estrogen plays a role in cognitive function and mood regulation; shifts in estrogen can show up as fog, irritability, or low mood.
You fall asleep fine. You wake up at 2 or 3am and can't get back. Sleep architecture changes during the menopause transition; sleep quality often drops before any other obvious symptom appears.
Decreased desire, vaginal dryness, painful sex. These are common, treatable, and worth talking about — even if you've never raised it with a clinician before.
Joints stiffen. Muscle mass shifts despite the same workouts. Hormonal change has musculoskeletal effects that show up gradually.
Skin feels different. Hair thins or feels less full. Energy doesn't rebound the way it used to. These can have multiple causes; HRT may be one part of a fuller picture.
Cycles closer together, then skipped. Heavier than they used to be. This is often perimenopause. A clinician can help you understand what's worth investigating.
You've been told your labs are fine while you feel anything but. HRT decisions aren't only made on labs — symptoms matter, and a clinician trained in midlife care will treat them seriously.
How HRT works at Cypress
You don't shop products. You answer focused questions about what you're experiencing, your history, and your goals. Your clinician determines the regimen.
Our formulary, briefly
You don't pick from this list — your clinician does, based on what you need. We share it for transparency, not as a menu.
A note on safety
The science on HRT has evolved significantly since the 2002 WHI study that paused the field for a generation. Today, for most healthy women starting within 10 years of menopause, the benefits of HRT often outweigh the risks — but the calculation is individual.
HRT is not appropriate for everyone. A personal history of breast cancer, certain blood-clot disorders, active liver disease, unexplained vaginal bleeding, or pregnancy are among the reasons your clinician may recommend a different path. The assessment is designed to surface those factors carefully.
It takes about 3 minutes. Your clinician follows up within 24 hours. You're not committing to anything by starting.
