Treatment Options for Menopause
In the modern world, it is quite easy to just go to your doctor, and request a treatment for menopause…
The most common treatment offered is HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy).
This replaces estrogen (and sometimes progesterone) in your body, with synthetically produced hormones.
HRT can be taken as:
tablets
implants
nasal sprays
gels
skin patches
It really is totally your own choice as to whether you should take HRT to relieve your menopause symptoms.

But there are still very real dangers and concerns over the long term safety of HRT. There are possible links between HRT and:
blood clots
heart disease
cancers of the womb, ovary and especially breast cancer
stroke
dementia
Other conventional menopause treatments can cause unpleasant side effects such as:
nausea
bloating
weight gain
breast tenderness
blood clots
bleeding
thickened hair growth on face and body
You should discuss with your healthcare provider the pros and cons of HRT and other menopause treatments, before you come to a final decision. Consider your choice carefully, and don’t take the decision lightly!
