Everything about Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is an effective treatment for managing the symptoms of the perimenopause and menopause. By replacing the hormones that the body naturally produces less of as you age—primarily oestrogen and progestogen—HRT can significantly improve quality of life and long-term bone health.
Common Symptoms Managed by HRT
- Hot flushes and night sweats.
- Mood changes, anxiety, and "brain fog".
- Vaginal dryness and discomfort during sex.
- Sleep disturbances and persistent fatigue.
- Joint aches and thinning of the skin.
Forms of HRT
- Oral Tablets: Taken daily for consistent hormone delivery.
- Transdermal Patches: Applied to the skin and changed once or twice weekly (e.g., Evra or specialized HRT patches).
- Topical Gels & Sprays: Applied daily to the skin for absorbed oestrogen.
- Vaginal Treatments: Creams, rings, or tablets specifically for localized vaginal symptoms.
Long-Term Health Benefits
Beyond symptom relief, HRT is known to protect against osteoporosis (bone thinning) and may reduce the risk of heart disease when started at the correct time.
