It’s Not Too Late
You keep hearing what hormones can do — better sleep, stronger bones, an end to the every-other-month bladder infection. But you started menopause years ago, and everyone acts like you missed your window. You didn’t. Here’s the truth, from a physician who does this every day.
I get some version of this question almost every week. A woman whose doctor just retired. A 74-year-old whose best friend won’t stop talking about how hormones gave her life back. An 80-year-old who is simply done getting a bladder infection every other month. They ask it in a slightly embarrassed whisper: “Is it too late for me?”
No. It is not too late. But here’s the part nobody bothers to explain, and it’s the whole ballgame: starting hormones at 70 is not the same conversation as starting at 50. The type of hormone matters more, and what you can reasonably expect depends entirely on what you’re after. You deserve better than “you’re too old now” — which is both lazy and wrong.
