How do women in menopause supplement estrogen and progesterone?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I am currently in the age of menopause and have been quite anxious lately. My deep sleep quality at night is not good, and I often wake up from dreams in the middle of the night. I have endocrine disorders and irregular menstruation. I would like to know how women in menopause digest estrogen and progesterone?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, women around their fifties enter menopause. Some experience mild symptoms, while others have more severe ones, like you do. Menopause in women usually lasts for a certain period, typically three to five years or even longer. Of course, in terms of treatment, some estrogen and progesterone can be administered, but this depends on the body and age. Since it is a hormone-based medication, it is generally better to use it sparingly. This should be confirmed by a doctor.
