Episode #33 The First 90 Days of HRT: What to Expect
In this episode, Dr. Cat leads an informative Doctor Dialogue focused on what women can realistically expect during the first 90 days of hormone therapy. She breaks down why hormone treatment takes time, what early side effects like bloating or breast tenderness can mean, and how symptom improvement often unfolds over weeks rather than days.
Drawing from live audience questions, Dr. Cat offers practical guidance on estrogen patch use, fatigue during treatment, dosage adjustments, and vaginal health changes during menopause. Throughout the conversation, she emphasizes patience, lifestyle support, and open communication with providers.
Listeners can continue joining us for Winona Wednesdays, where twice a month we bring these important conversations straight to the comfort of your home. 🎧
