Is there a medically supported time limit for how long someone can stay on menopausal hormone therapy (HRT)?

There is no medically supported, fixed time limit for how long someone can stay on menopausal hormone therapy (HRT), also known as menopausal hormone therapy (MHT). The most up-to-date guidelines from The Menopause Society and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists state that the duration of hormone therapy should be individualized. You can continue HRT as long as you are benefiting from it, remain healthy, and do not develop any new contraindications. The decision about when to stop should be made together with your healthcare provider, based on your symptoms, health status, and personal preferences.

Here at Alloy, we follow these evidence-based guidelines and support women in making informed choices about their health. There is no need to stop HRT at a certain age (like 60 or 65) or after a specific number of years unless there is a medical reason or you wish to stop.
