Are you wondering if you need constant blood tests before starting hormone replacement therapy? 

In this video, we explain hormone replacement therapy for menopause in clear, practical terms, and why excessive lab testing isn’t always necessary. 

At Allure Medical, we treat menopause as a clinical condition, not a lab number. Menopause is defined by symptoms and life stage, not by a single blood test result. You’ll learn how we determine whether hormone therapy is appropriate, what bioidentical hormones are, and why we focus on results that actually improve energy, sleep, mood, and quality of life. 

We also review when lab testing is helpful, such as early menopause, surgical menopause, or cases where symptoms don’t improve as expected. By the end of this video, you’ll understand how we personalize hormone replacement therapy for menopause to support your long-term health safely and effectively. 

If you’re exploring bioidentical hormone therapy for women, or simply want to understand how menopause is truly evaluated, this guide will give you the clarity you need.
