HRT is excellent at relieving vasomotor symptoms such as flushes and sweats and it can improve mood. It also maintains bone density whilst you are taking it, especially if combined with exercise. HRT should be used at the LOWEST DOSE for the SHORTEST PERIOD OF TIME to relieve symptoms as there are risks from HRT such as increased incidences of some cancers, blood clots and stroke.

We suggest you have a GP review at least once a year to reassess HRT risks and benefits.
