For years, women were told that hormone therapy must be started within 10 years of menopause — or never at all.
But new evidence challenges this strict cutoff.
JAMA 2007 showed risks were highest if HRT began 20+ years after menopause.
Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology 2025 argues the 10-year window is overly cautious, and that women beyond it may still benefit — with the right risk assessment.
💡 The truth? It’s not just about the calendar — it’s about you: your health, your risks, and your goals.
