- What is menopause?
- Menopause is a natural part of ageing and typically happens between ages 45 and 55, although some experience it earlier. Menopause can also follow cancer treatment or surgery to remove your ovaries or uterus.
- Menopause stages
- – Perimenopause is when your body’s hormone levels change, such as oestrogen. You may notice irregular periods and other symptoms, such as mood changes, sleep issues, hot flushes, weight gain, joint pain and more. This stage lasts 4-8 years on average
- – Menopause is when you have not had a period for 12 months. This is typically in your early 50s. This can be hard to work out if you are using hormonal contraception
- – Postmenopause is the time after menopause and symptoms can continue. There are more than 30 symptoms, such as sleep issues, hot flushes, mood changes, joint pain, weight gain and bladder problems. What you experience can be affected by your health history, lifestyle and age
- Remember, you do not have to wait until symptoms severely affect your life before seeking treatment – you deserve support to feel better.
- What is hormone replacement therapy (HRT)?
- Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is an effective treatment for many symptoms, but it is not suitable for everyone. Looking after your lifestyle, such as your diet, exercise, sleep and stress levels, can help many symptoms too.

- We prescribe body identical forms of oestrogen and progesterone first, including gels and patches. We recommend body identical progesterone capsules.
- When body identical HRT is produced by regulated pharmaceutical companies, there are strict quality control processes in place to guarantee the strength, purity, and safety of the product supplied. These medications are manufactured to exacting standards that are constantly monitored.
