When can I start HRT after surgical menopause?

If endometriosis has been thoroughly treated at the time of surgery, we often consider starting hormone therapy right away or within the first few weeks after surgical menopause. This can help reduce sudden, severe menopause symptoms like hot flashes and sleep disruption, and it also supports long-term bone and cardiovascular health.

The best timing and hormone plan depends on your surgical findings, whether any endometriosis was left behind, and your individual risk factors and goals. Our team will review your pathology and operative details with you and coordinate a plan that balances symptom relief with safety—if you’d like, you can reach out to schedule a consultation so we can personalize next steps.
