To continue, start a consultation with a Lemonaid Health provider so they can review your history, your current treatment and how you're feeling. If you already have a Lemonaid Health account, sign in. If you have questions first, contact patient support.

Hormone therapy (HRT) treats symptoms of perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause such as hot flashes, vaginal discomfort, fatigue and mood changes. Depending on your symptoms and blood work results, a Lemonaid Health provider may prescribe hormone therapies like estrogen and progesterone, or they may offer non-hormonal treatments.

Lemonaid Health offers several hormone therapy (HRT) treatments, which can be prescribed alone or in combination with others, as advised by a provider.

For example, a combination birth control containing estrogen and progestin (a form of progesterone) helps regulate the hormone fluctuations of perimenopause. Estrogen via vaginal tablets or transdermal patches treats hot flashes and vaginal dryness. Oral progesterone can be used with estrogens to reduce menopause symptoms.

Yes. For some patients, a Lemonaid Health provider may find it appropriate to prescribe Veozah® (fezolinetant), which reduces hot flashes and night sweats by blocking a chemical in the area of the brain that helps regulate temperature. Or they may prescribe paroxetine, an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) medication that helps manage menopause symptoms.

Talk these options through with your provider during your consultation if you'd rather not take hormonal medications.

There is no "normal" timeline for perimenopause and menopause symptoms. Some studies suggest that they can happen over 30 years of a woman's hormonal transition. Some women will stop having symptoms when menopause is complete (they reach post-menopause). Others will continue to have symptoms for years or decades after final menstruation.

Hormone therapy (HRT) is prescribed to help ease symptoms of menopause and perimenopause, and treatment can continue as long as those symptoms last. It can also end when hormone fluctuations resolve and symptoms stop. Your provider reviews how treatment is working at your check-ins.

Common symptoms of perimenopause and menopause include hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, sleep disruption, decreased libido, vaginal dryness, painful sex, cognitive or mood changes, extreme fatigue, joint pain and bone fractures.

During your Lemonaid Health consultation, we screen for conditions that can cause some of these symptoms, to make sure they are caused by hormonal fluctuations, hormone decline, or something else.

Common side effects of hormone therapy (HRT) may include breast tenderness, bloating or fluid retention, breakthrough bleeding (spotting or bleeding outside of an expected period), headaches and mood changes.

This is not a full list of possible side effects, as several different types of medication may be prescribed for hormone therapy. But most symptoms are typically mild and often go away a few months after starting treatment.

You get details about every treatment you're prescribed and its risks, plus unlimited support from licensed providers to discuss side effects and alter treatment, if necessary.

Lemonaid Health's hormone therapy membership is $145, billed quarterly, plus the cost of your medication. Medication costs are determined by the type of medication prescribed and whether you pay with insurance coverage or out-of-pocket. Dose adjustments and support check-ins are included at no extra charge.
