Gynaecology / Menopause & hormone replacement therapy

Menopause & hormone replacement therapy

Support through a changing stage of life.

Perimenopause and menopause can bring changes in periods, hot flushes, sleep, mood and vaginal comfort. Treatment is guided by the symptoms that matter to you.

Your menopause consultation

Discuss your symptoms, bleeding pattern, medical history, medications and priorities. Any bleeding after menopause needs assessment, even if it happens only once.

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT)

HRT may help menopausal symptoms. The type, route and suitability depend on your history and whether you have a womb. Benefits and potential risks, including blood clots and breast or womb cancer considerations, need an individual review.

Alternatives and follow-up

Non-hormonal medicines, lifestyle measures and treatments for vaginal symptoms may also be considered. Follow-up reviews response and side effects. Tell your doctor about unexpected bleeding; a history of breast cancer or tamoxifen use requires particular care and coordination with your treating team.
