How much does menopause care cost in the Philippines?

People search "hormone replacement therapy Philippines price" because nobody publishes one. So here it is, in one place, with every number pulled from our price list and dated.

A first year of menopause care usually has four parts:

1. A consult with an OB-GYN, in person or by teleconsult.
2. A few tests, only if your doctor thinks you need them. Many women over 45 need none to start treatment.
3. Medicine, if you and your doctor choose it: hormone therapy, a non-hormonal prescription, or vaginal estrogen.
4. Screening you should be doing at this age anyway: mammogram, bone density when indicated, blood pressure, lipids, blood sugar.

The calculator above adds up the medicine part for common example regimens. It uses list prices and says "Example only, your doctor sets your dose" because it is not a prescription. Your doctor may choose a different product, dose or schedule, and that changes the total.

• Government hospital OB-GYN clinic: ₱300 to ₱600 per visit (Government hospitals)
• Private hospital OB-GYN (St. Luke's, Makati Med, The Medical City, Cardinal Santos, Healthway): ₱600 to ₱2,000 per visit (St. Luke's, Makati Med, TMC, Cardinal Santos, Healthway)
• St. Luke's BGC specifically: ₱800 to ₱2,000 per visit (St. Luke's BGC)
• Specialist teleconsult: ₱699 per 15 min (Doctor Anywhere, Medifi)

Consult fees come from a 2025 aggregator survey and a telehealth roundup, not from the hospitals themselves, so treat them as estimates. Call ahead and ask; many clinics will tell you the professional fee over the phone.

A teleconsult can be a good first step if you mainly want to talk through symptoms and options. You can book one through Doctor Anywhere, NowServing or Hati Health. See find a doctor for how to pick someone who is comfortable with menopause care.

If you are over 45 with typical symptoms, international guidance says perimenopause and menopause can be diagnosed without blood tests. An FSH test is mainly for women 40 to 45 with symptoms, or under 40 if early menopause is possible (NICE NG23 recommendations 1.2.1 to 1.2.5, as quoted in NICE QS143). Hormone levels swing a lot in perimenopause, so a single result can mislead. Read more in our FSH test guide.

If your doctor does order tests, typical prices:

• FSH: ₱855 per test (Exact Check) or ₱1,000 per test (Hi-Precision via Hati Health)

Calcium is different: food comes first, and the calcium calculator shows whether you need a top-up at all.

• Start with a teleconsult if your main goal is a conversation about options.
• Skip tests you do not need. Ask your doctor, "Do I need hormone tests, given my age?"
• Ask about generics and other brands. Two brands of micronized progesterone are on the list above at different prices.
• Use government hospital clinics like PGH for consults and mammograms if you can wait.
• Bring a symptom diary. A focused visit wastes less time and money. Use the symptom diary and read how to talk to your doctor.
• Watch the monthly numbers. Our Menopause Cost Index tracks these prices every month.
