Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

Restore hormonal balance and relieve menopausal symptoms

Hormone replacement therapy replenishes declining oestrogen and progesterone levels during the menopause, relieving symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, vaginal dryness and mood changes. Initiated by a specialist familiar with current evidence, HRT offers significant quality-of-life benefit for many women.

We prescribe modern bioidentical and conventional HRT in various formulations — patches, gels, tablets or vaginal preparations — tailored to your symptom burden, health history and personal preference.
