Hormone Replacement Therapy in Fort Worth, TX
At Sky Women's Health, Dr. Carolyn Moyers, DO, FACOG, MSCP, provides personalized hormone replacement therapy in Fort Worth, TX, for women struggling with hot flashes, night sweats, poor sleep, mood changes, or vaginal dryness. As a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, Dr. Moyers builds evidence-based hormone therapy plans around your symptoms, health history, and goals.
What Is Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT), also called menopausal hormone therapy (MHT), is a medical treatment that replaces the estrogen and sometimes progesterone your body stops making during perimenopause and menopause. It is the most effective hormone therapy for menopause symptoms. HRT for hot flashes and night sweats provides faster and more reliable relief than any other treatment, and it also helps protect bone density and relieve vaginal dryness.
When estrogen levels drop, many women notice changes in sleep, mood, energy, skin, and sexual health. Hormone therapy restores those hormones to a level that eases symptoms and supports long-term health. HRT is one part of our broader menopause care in Fort Worth, which also includes non-hormonal and lifestyle options.

Types of Hormone Therapy We Offer
Estrogen Therapy for Menopause
Estrogen-only therapy is used for women who have had a hysterectomy. Estrogen therapy for menopause relieves hot flashes and night sweats and helps prevent bone loss. If you are considering a hysterectomy, Dr. Moyers can also discuss hormone planning alongside minimally invasive gynecologic surgery.
Combined Estrogen and Progesterone Therapy
Women who still have a uterus need progesterone along with estrogen. Progesterone protects the lining of the uterus from overgrowth, which lowers the risk of uterine cancer.
Vaginal Estrogen
Low-dose vaginal estrogen treats dryness, irritation, painful intercourse, and some urinary symptoms. Very little is absorbed into the bloodstream, so it is an option for many women who cannot or prefer not to use systemic hormones. For a hormone-free option, Dr. Moyers also offers MonaLisa Touch® vaginal laser therapy right here in our Fort Worth clinic.
Testosterone Therapy for Low Libido
For women with a persistent loss of sexual desire, Dr. Moyers may recommend carefully dosed testosterone therapy. As a Fellow of the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health (ISSWSH), she brings specialized training to this area. Learn more about our sexual health care for women.
Hormone Delivery Options
Dr. Moyers tailors the form of hormone therapy to your body and preferences:
Skin patches
Oral pills
Topical gels
Vaginal rings
Transdermal options like patches and gels are often preferred for women with certain health risks because they carry a lower risk of blood clots than oral estrogen.
Hormone Therapy for Perimenopause
You don't have to wait until your periods stop to get help. Hormone therapy for perimenopause can ease symptoms that begin years before your final period, including irregular cycles, night sweats, mood swings, and trouble sleeping. Dr. Moyers evaluates where you are in the transition and adjusts treatment as your hormones continue to change. If irregular bleeding is part of the picture, she may also recommend a gynecology exam to rule out other causes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is hormone replacement therapy safe?
For most healthy women under 60 or within 10 years of menopause, hormone replacement therapy is considered safe and effective, according to The Menopause Society. Safety depends on your age, health history, and the type of hormones used. Dr. Moyers evaluates each patient individually to find the safest option.
What are the side effects of HRT?
The most common side effects of HRT are breast tenderness, bloating, headaches, nausea, and irregular spotting. They are usually mild and often fade within the first few months. If side effects continue, Dr. Moyers can adjust your dose or switch the delivery method.
How long can you stay on HRT?
There is no set time limit for hormone therapy. Many women safely continue HRT for several years, and some continue longer when benefits outweigh risks. Dr. Moyers reviews your treatment at least once a year to decide whether to continue, adjust, or taper.
Does HRT increase breast cancer risk?
Combined estrogen and progesterone therapy may slightly increase breast cancer risk, mainly with use beyond 3 to 5 years. The Menopause Society describes this added risk as rare. Estrogen-only therapy has not been shown to increase breast cancer risk in the same way. Dr. Moyers considers your personal and family history before recommending treatment.
Am I a candidate for hormone therapy?
You may be a candidate for hormone therapy if menopause symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, poor sleep, or vaginal dryness are affecting your quality of life, and you don't have a history of hormone-sensitive cancer, blood clots, or stroke. A consultation with Dr. Moyers is the best way to find out.
How soon does HRT start working?
Most women notice improvement in hot flashes and night sweats within 2 to 4 weeks of starting HRT. Full results typically take about 3 months. Vaginal and urinary symptoms may take a few months to fully improve.
Do you offer telehealth for hormone therapy?
Yes. Sky Women's Health offers telehealth appointments for HRT consultations, medication management, and follow-up visits for patients in Texas and West Virginia. Physical exams and certain treatments still require an in-person visit at our Fort Worth clinic.
