Is Your Birth Control Making Perimenopause Worse? When to Switch to HRT

Description: Are you still on birth control during perimenopause — and wondering if it's masking your symptoms or actually helping? Dr. Heather Hirsch breaks down the key differences between birth control pills and menopausal hormone therapy (MHT), explaining why the estrogen in your pill isn't the same as the estradiol in HRT and what that means for your perimenopause symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and brain fog. Whether you still need contraception or you're ready to transition fully to MHT, this video walks you through every option so you can have an informed conversation with your doctor.
