Hormone replacement therapy
We aim to empower women to make informed choices whether their decision is to use HRT or to try alternative approaches. We understand that the thought of using HRT for many women is worrying and we are here to help explain all the benefits and any risks associated with the different treatment options. We can reassure you on the safe and effective use of body-identical HRT including testosterone replacement if appropriate.
Alternatives to HRT
The menopause specialists fully support women wanting to try alternative approaches to HRT due to personal preference or when HRT isn’t recommended. This could be advising on non-hormonal medication options or the use of alternative therapies and supplements. There is much confusion and uncertainty about the effectiveness of the vast range of herbal and supplementary products suggested to help menopausal symptoms. Our experts help to clarify these questions and give evidence-based advice.
