In this brief segment, Dr. Anne Truong explains that women seeking hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can see either a gynecologist or a hormone‑specialist physician. She emphasizes the importance of using topical vaginal estrogen to restore lubrication and sexual function, and advises a gynecologic exam to rule out other conditions such as lichen sclerosus. For patients with a uterus, she outlines pap smear frequency—annual or every 3‑5 years—based on individual risk factors. The overall message is a practical, supportive roadmap for navigating HRT care and related gynecologic health checks.
