  • How can Lemonaid Health help if I experience hot flashes and vaginal dryness, or pain related to menopause?

    Our service provides you with a convenient and affordable way to manage your symptoms related to menopause, and empowers you to do so appropriately and safely. 

    You can get the care and advice you need online without having to go to a traditional doctor’s office. Our goal is to help improve your symptoms of hot flashes and vaginal dryness or pain with personalized menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) that is not available at your local pharmacy.

  • What should I know about menopause and how can Lemonaid Health help treat it?

    Menopause occurs when a woman has not had a period for 12 months or more and usually starts between the ages of 45 and 55 years old. Hormonal changes during menopause can trigger a variety of symptoms. Many women experience hot flashes caused by decreased amounts of the hormone estrogen in the body making it difficult to maintain body temperature. Decreased estrogen also causes changes in the vagina such as thinning of vaginal tissue, loss of elasticity, and narrowing of the vaginal canal. These changes can cause vaginal dryness, burning, or pain with sex.

    Our medical team can prescribe menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) that includes topical estrogen, oral progesterone, and vaginal estrogen depending on your symptoms and medical history. 

    The menopausal hormone therapy we prescribe is compounded by our partner pharmacy, Curexa Pharmacy, so that we can personalize and adjust your dosage based on your individual response to the hormone therapy.

  • Who can use the Lemonaid Health menopausal hormone therapy service?

    You can use our service if you're of female birth sex between the ages of 45 and 59 years old and you’re undergoing menopause.

    Our medical team is not able to treat all patients. If you have a history of breast, uterine, or endometrial cancers; undiagnosed abnormal uterine or vaginal bleeding; or if you are currently pregnant or breastfeeding we recommend that you see a healthcare provider in person.

  • Can Lemonaid Health treat my symptoms of menopause remotely?

    Our doctors and nurse practitioners can treat your hot flashes and vaginal dryness or pain related to menopause based on your history and self-reported symptoms. Our medical team follows strict guidelines to make sure we only treat you when it's safe and appropriate to do so. It’s important that you answer our questions fully and truthfully, and read any information we provide.

    If, for any reason, our doctor or nurse practitioner thinks it’s not safe to treat you, we’ll ask you to see a healthcare provider in person.
