HRT Treatment

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is one of the most effective ways to manage menopause symptoms. At PHI Clinic, we provide expert guidance and create personalised HRT plans to help you navigate this natural phase of life with ease and comfort.

What is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)?

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a treatment for menopause that typically includes estrogen, progesterone (or progestin), and sometimes testosterone. Estrogen helps alleviate symptoms like hot flushes and vaginal dryness, while progesterone helps balance the effects of estrogen on the uterus and can protect against certain risks. In some cases, testosterone may be added to help with symptoms like low libido or fatigue, though it is used less frequently and is typically prescribed based on individual needs.

 

At PHI Clinic, we offer both systemic HRT (delivered through pills, patches, or gels) and local treatments (like creams and pessaries) to provide the best solution based on your individual needs.

What are the benefits of HRT?

Hormone replacement therapy can help to:

  • Alleviate common menopause symptoms: Reduce hot flushes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness.
  • Improve emotional well-being: Combat mood swings, anxiety, and irritability.
  • Restore skin elasticity: Address changes in skin and hair, which often occur during menopause.
  • Prevent bone loss: Help maintain bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis.

Different types of hormone replacement therapy (HRT)?

Yes, HRT is available in several forms, and our specialists will help you choose the one that suits you best:

 

  • Oral HRT: Taken as a tablet, it’s one of the most common forms.
  • Transdermal HRT: Delivered through patches, gels, or sprays, this form is absorbed through the skin.
  • Vaginal HRT: Creams, pessaries, or rings applied directly to the vaginal area can help with local symptoms like dryness and discomfort.

 

We’ll work with you to determine which option will be most effective and comfortable based on your symptoms and lifestyle.

What to expect during your menopause consultation

During your initial consultation at PHI Clinic, our menopause experts will assess your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle. This thorough assessment allows us to recommend the most suitable type of treatment for you.

 

You may also undergo blood tests to evaluate your hormone levels, ensuring that your treatment plan is personalised for maximum effectiveness.

 

Is HRT right for me?

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) can be suitable for many women experiencing signs of menopause, including those in perimenopause, but it’s not right for everyone. We carefully assess your health history and current symptoms to determine if HRT is the best treatment for you. Women with certain health conditions, such as a history of breast cancer or blood clotting disorders, may not be suitable candidates for HRT. 

 

Our specialists will discuss all available options with you, including whether HRT is appropriate for your stage of perimenopause, and help you make an informed decision.

 

Possible side effects of HRT

While HRT is generally safe, some women may experience side effects, especially when starting treatment. These can include:

 

  • Tender breasts
  • Bloating
  • Headaches
  • Mood changes

 

Most side effects are temporary and will subside after the first few months of treatment. If you experience persistent or severe side effects, we can adjust your treatment plan accordingly.

 

How long should I use HRT?

The length of time you will need to use HRT varies from woman to woman. Some women use it for a few years to manage symptoms, while others may use it long-term to address bone health. Our specialists will monitor your progress and adjust your treatment as needed during regular follow-up appointments.

 

Ongoing support and follow-up appointments

Once your HRT treatment plan is in place, regular follow-up appointments are essential to monitor your progress. During these visits, we will:

 

  • Assess the effectiveness of your treatment.
  • Adjust dosage or methods if necessary.
  • Address any concerns or side effects.
  • Ongoing support ensures that your treatment remains aligned with your changing needs.
