On average, women experience menopause at 51 years old, and perimenopause symptoms can manifest 7-10 years prior. Patients are encouraged to start HRT as soon as they begin to experience uncomfortable symptoms.

For safety reasons, it's recommended that women start HRT within 10 years of having gone through menopause and before they reach age 60. We take patient safety very seriously, so Winona does not prescribe HRT for women 60 and older.
