What is HRT?

HRT is a hormone treatment used to replace hormones your body is no longer producing when you enter the perimenopause or menopause. This includes the hormone oestrogen and often progestogen. If you have a uterus, you will need to take progestogen in combination with oestrogen to protect the lining of your womb.

Types of HRT

There are many different preparations of HRT. The oestrogen component of HRT can be taken as an oral tablet, or given as a patch, gel or spray. Progestogen can be given as an oral tablet, through the mirena coil or combined in a patch with oestrogen.

The benefits of HRT outweigh the risks for most women, however please note you may not be suitable for certain types of HRT
