Starting HRT at 49
Whether 49 is the right time for HRT depends on symptoms and health history — not just age.
Is 49 typical?
Perimenopause commonly begins in the early 40s, but hot flashes, sleep disruption, and mood shifts can start earlier or later. At 49, perimenopause is likely if symptoms are present.
Benefits at your age
Symptom relief, bone density protection, and — when started in the window of opportunity — cardiovascular support.
