The "Hot" Topic of HRT

Provided by the Montana Nurses Association
     Presented by: Cindy Swan, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC

Hot flashes, insomnia, and mood disruptions… is it menopause, perimenopause, or something else? Should it be treated, and if so, is it safe? This is a dive into the symptoms commonly affecting women often as early as their late 30s to as late as their early 60s as they near or enter menopause. Debunk the myths that often prevent providers from treating women suffering from perimenopause and menopause symptoms. Explore safe and affective ways to compassionately treat women and improve their quality of life.
