Menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) remains the most effective treatment for vasomotor symptoms and genitourinary syndrome of menopause, with additional benefits for bone health. Yet, decades after the WHI, uncertainty persists about who should receive therapy, how to prescribe it safely, and how to address patient concerns about risks. This evidence-based session will review current guidelines, FDA-approved indications, and practical prescribing strategies for systemic and local therapies. We will cover risk stratification, route and dose selection, the role of progestogens, special clinical scenarios, and common myths. Attendees will leave with ready-to-use regimens, a streamlined prescribing algorithm, and clear strategies for discussing MHT with patients.
