Emma:
HRT
Bioidentical hormone therapy from compounding pharmacies is not regulated or government approved. If hormone therapy is required, government approved preparations prescribed on NHS should be used. See Types of HRT and decision tree.
Emma:
BLADDER MATTERS
Bladder function and risk of urine infections can be affected by menopausal estrogen deficiency. Symptoms are common and can respond to bladder training and vaginal estrogen treatment. See our bladder matters website.
Emma:
PROLAPSE
Symptoms of prolapse are common in the postmenopause. Symptoms can be helped by carrying out pelvic floor exercises and maintaining healthy weight.
Emma:
VAGINAL DRYNESS
Menopause can be associated with reduced interest in sex, which can be due to vaginal dryness and discomfort. Many women find it difficult to discuss this and might even hide the problem from their partner, making excuses not to have sex. Effective treatments are available.
Emma:
VAGINAL DRYNESS AND DISCOMFORT
Many women still suffer from menopausal vaginal dryness and discomfort, often not realising that it is due to estrogen deficiency. Dryness and irritation can lead to pain during sex, but also during sitting and cycling. Self esteem, confidence and relationships can all be affected.
