If your hormone treatment has been effective and well-tolerated for 5 years, there is no need to change to "bio-identical" hormones unless there is a specific reason to do so. The term "bio-identical" is mainly a marketing term and may not necessarily offer any therapeutic or safety advantages. It is recommended to have a discussion with your doctor to reevaluate your hormone replacement therapy after 5 years to ensure it is still the best option for you.
