Hormone Therapy After 60? Yes—And Here’s Why It Might Be Exactly What You Need
Have you been told you’re “too old” for hormone therapy?
Still struggling with hot flashes, poor sleep, or mood swings—long after menopause?
Or maybe your provider said estrogen is too risky now that you’re in your 60s?
Here’s the truth:
Modern menopause medicine says age isn’t the issue—untreated hormone deficiency is.
And for many women, starting hormone therapy in their 60s or even 70s can still dramatically improve quality of life and long-term health.
According to the North American Menopause Society:
“Hormone therapy does not need to be routinely discontinued in women aged older than 60 or 65 years.”
“Vaginal estrogen (and systemic if required)… may be used at any age and for extended duration, if needed.”
So if you’re wondering if it’s too late—here are 3 reasons to reconsider:
1. You still have symptoms
Sleep disruption, hot flashes, brain fog, mood shifts, anxiety, and low libido don’t always stop after menopause.
In fact, over 40% of women in their 60s still struggle with these symptoms.
According to the North American Menopause Society’s 2022 Position Statement, 42.1% of women aged 60–65 years report ongoing vasomotor symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats.
2. Estrogen protects your body—whether you feel it or not
Low estrogen silently affects:
– Bone strength (osteoporosis risk rises fast)
– Heart health (estrogen supports arteries and reduces inflammation)
– Cognitive clarity (estrogen influences memory and mood)You don’t have to wait for a diagnosis to take action.
3. It may be safer than doing nothing
Many medications for menopausal women (to treat osteoporosis or depression for example) may come with greater risks than properly prescribed hormone therapy.
When personalized by a trained provider, hormone therapy can be both safe and powerful—even if you’re in your 60s or 70s.
