HRT Options
HRT remains the most effective treatment for menopause symptoms. Modern body-identical HRT is safer and more individualised than ever.
What HRT Actually Is
HRT replaces the oestrogen (and progesterone, if you have a womb) your body is no longer making. Modern body-identical HRT uses molecules identical to those your own body produced, derived from yams, not horses.
For most women under 60, the benefits of HRT outweigh the risks. Every decision should be made with a menopause-aware GP or specialist, individualised to you.
What to Know Before You Start
