FAQ
What are the benefits of HRT?
For most women, HRT is an effective way of managing menopause symptoms. It also provides long-term health benefits, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and, for many, heart disease. The small risks of HRT are generally far outweighed by the benefits.
HRT is an effective way of managing menopause symptoms, such as:
- Hot flushes and night sweats
- Low mood and anxiety
- Brain fog and memory issues
- Vaginal dryness
- Painful sex
- Loss of libido/sex drive
- Bladder issues
- Skin, tissue, and joint quality
- Joint and muscle aches and pains
How does HRT work?
Before menopause, your ovaries produce three main types of hormones:
- Oestrogens (for example, oestradiol)
- Progestogens (for example, progesterone)
- Androgens (for example, testosterone)
The loss of oestrogens that results in most menopause symptoms. HRT aims to replace the declining levels of estrogen and helps to reduce your menopause symptoms. It also has long-term health benefits, more crucial than ever as women’s life expectancy is increasing.

There are 2 main types of HRT:
- Combined HRT (estrogen and progestogen)
- Estrogen-only HRT
There are several ways that estrogen can be taken, including:
- tablets – which can be taken by mouth
