🪷 SHOULD I USE HRT?
Here’s one of my MOST ASKED MENOPAUSE QUESTIONS!
Many of my patients fall in to one of two categories; those keen to start HRT to alleviate their symptoms or those that are wary and cautious due to the impact it may have on their health and their bodies.
Every woman is unique and what is right for one may not be right for another, so instead of taking advice from another menopausal woman, be sure to do your own research, seek advice from professionals. No one knows your body like you do, so make your decision on what’s best for you not the advice based from another woman’s experiences.
There is a an overwhelming amount of information out there especially online regarding HRT and the risks linking to heart health and breast cancer to name just a few!
And although a groundbreaking study in 2002 revealed that the risks were more limited than previously believed, I do try to encourage my patients to use holistic and natural methods before embarking on a journey with HRT.
Our bodies are amazing at balancing themselves and with the right changes in nutrition, and regular exercise, self care and other lifestyle practices, many of my patients have successfully managed their symptoms without the need for HRT.
If you are unsure as to which options are best for you, please speak to your GP
