Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

The single most effective tool available is HRT. This can replace the oestrogen deficiency so that the symptoms disappear.

HRT is more than 90 percent effective. If you feel your doctor isn’t being very helpful or sympathetic, or won’t let you try hormone replacement therapy, seek an opinion from another doctor.

What’s a natural menopause?

Not all women should take HRT, nor do all women want to. My main contention about the menopause is that all women have the right to the menopause they want.

In other words they should be free to exercise all the options available and that includes foods, vitamins, herbs, yoga, aromatherapy, exercise – in fact anything which helps to make them feel good.
