How Women's Hormone Therapy is structured
Order labs that could change the plan.
Review contraindications to estrogen.
Stop or change a hormone if mood destabilizes and the timeline fits.
Document lactation plans.
What we rule in — and rule out
Not indicated when VTE or estrogen-sensitive cancer history blocks estrogen without oncology input.
Thyroid disease as a co-indication for labs, not a DIY HRT start.
Perimenopausal or menopausal symptoms with psychiatric comorbidity.
Vasomotor symptoms wrecking sleep and daytime function.
Parking, hours, and video visits
Lauderhill sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Women's Hormone Therapy when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Lauderhill presentations. Women's Hormone Therapy intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Discuss mammography and cervical screening as primary-care tasks we will not skip mentioning.
Set monitoring: bleeding, mood scales, BP, labs.
