Hormone Replacement Therapy replaces the hormones that naturally decline during perimenopause and menopause, most commonly oestrogen.
For women who still have a uterus, progesterone is usually prescribed alongside oestrogen to protect the lining of the womb. In carefully selected cases, testosterone may also be considered where clinically appropriate.
Modern HRT is highly personalised. Treatment is selected according to your symptoms, stage of menopause, medical history, lifestyle and personal preferences. Depending on your individual needs, HRT may be prescribed as patches, gels, sprays, tablets or vaginal preparations.
