on the ’s removal of the black box warnings from estrogen-containing hormone therapy products.

10/11/2025

🩺 Big news in women’s health: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration will remove the black box safety warnings from estrogen-containing hormone therapy products used for menopausal symptom relief! This decision marks a significant shift in menopause care.

For years, many patients were told to be cautious about hormone therapy, which left countless women struggling with symptoms they didn’t have to endure. The black box warning contributed to widespread misconceptions (and fear) that estrogen leads to increased risk of breast cancer, heart disease, and dementia.

Now, following an in-depth analysis of current evidence, the FDA is initiating the removal of references to risks of cardiovascular disease, breast cancer, and probable dementia with estrogen-containing hormone therapy use. The black box warning for endometrial cancer will remain on systemic estrogen-alone products.

Today’s update reflects what many clinicians have experienced in menopause care for years. For many patients, hormone therapy is both safe and effective when appropriately prescribed. This update doesn’t mean hormone therapy is right for everyone. ​​

What this could mean for you:

✨ More confidence in your options: Hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, vaginal and urinary symptoms, and sleep disruption don’t have to be “just part of it.”

🔎 Individualized decisions matter: Your age, personal and family health history, severity of symptoms, prior use of hormone therapy, risk of developing certain medical conditions, and time since menopause all play a role in whether hormone therapy is a good fit.

Emerging evidence even suggests hormone therapy prescribing guidelines have been overly cautious: in a recent abstract presented at The Menopause Society’s 2025 Annual Meeting, researchers found that women who started estrogen therapy >10 years before menopause had approximately 60% lower odds of breast cancer, heart disease, and stroke.

🤝 Guidance you can trust: A conversation with a knowledgeable provider is still the best first step.

And while today’s news is progress, the care gap remains real.

Too many women are dismissed, under-treated, or left without access to clinicians trained in menopause care. This decision moves us forward, but there is still much to do to ensure every patient receives evidence-based, compassionate support.

At HerMD, we’re committed to closing that gap and helping patients understand all the options available to them.

Hot flashes, mood changes, low energy. Is this just part of the transition?

As hormone levels begin to fluctuate during (peri) menopause, many people may experience significant symptoms that impact their daily life, intimacy, and overall well-being.

Common symptoms include:

✅ Hot flashes and night sweats
✅ Irregular or absent periods
✅ Brain fog, difficulty concentrating, or problems with word finding
✅ Mood swing, anxiety, or depressive moods
✅ Heart palpitations, racing heartbeat, or changes in blood pressure
✅ Changes to skin and hair
✅ Vaginal dryness or painful s*x
✅ Low libido, sleep disturbances, or fatigue
✅ Bone, muscle, or metabolic changes

Hormone therapies (HT) are prescription medications that alleviate menopausal symptoms by restoring levels of female hormones, such as estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone, that naturally decline during the menopause transition.

💪 More than libido: how testosterone supports women’s well-being ✨

Low-dose testosterone therapy is gaining recognition as a potential option to support women through changes related to declining hormone levels.

While it’s not FDA-approved for women in the U.S. (yet), research suggests it may help with:
💫 Sexual desire & arousal, including:
~ Increased s*xual desire
~ Enhanced s*xual arousal
~ Improved or****ic function
~ Greater s*xual pleasure and responsiveness
~ Reduction in s*xual concerns and distress
💫 Energy & vitality
💫 Mood & confidence
💫 Bone & brain health
💫 Muscle tone & strength
💫 Breast health ~ testosterone may help protect breast tissue and reduce the risk of changes linked to other hormone treatments.

⚠️ Long-term safety data is still limited, and ongoing research is needed to better understand the full risk–benefit profile of testosterone use in women. It’s important to explore this only under the guidance of a qualified healthcare provider.

Testosterone plays an important role in women’s health — especially during menopause. As women age, their testosterone levels gradually decline, and by menopause, they can be about 50% lower than levels in early adulthood. This decline can lead to symptoms such as diminished s*xual desire, decre...
