What is Menopause Hormone Therapy?
Menopause hormone therapy (MHT) (formerly Hormone Replacement Therapy) is a treatment approach designed to supplement estrogen, progesterone, or other hormones that naturally decline during perimenopause and postmenopause. When appropriate, MHT can help relieve bothersome symptoms, support bone and urogenital health and improve overall quality of life.
At Inner MD, we primarily prescribe bioidentical hormones, which are structurally identical to those produced by the human body. Every treatment plan is individualized based on a patient’s symptoms, medical history, and goals.
Who Can Benefit from MHT?
MHT may be considered for women experiencing menopause or perimenopause symptoms that affect their quality of life. Common concerns include:
-
Sleep disturbances
-
Vaginal dryness or discomfort
-
Brain fog or reduced concentration
-
Weight changes and fatigue
Every patient is assessed individually to determine whether MHT is an appropriate treatment option.

Frequently Asked Questions About Menopause Hormone Therapy Services in Halifax & Beyond
Is menopause hormone therapy right for everyone?
MHT is not suitable for all women. Whether it may be a good option depends on factors such as your medical history, current symptoms, and individual health risks.
What symptoms does MHT usually help with?
MHT may help with symptoms such as hot flashes, sleep disturbances, and mood changes. However, the degree of improvement varies from person to person.
Do you always recommend lab work before MHT?
Lab testing can provide useful information, but it may not be required in every case. This decision is made during your initial consultation.
