PODCAST: Series 2: HRT - the basics and much more

The Menopause Matters; Let’s Talk podcast is back for its second series!

We’ve decided to take the bull by the horns and tackle the huge topic of HRT. In this episode we discuss which hormones we’re actually talking about that tend to flip about and go all wonky.

We talk about tweaking the type, dose and route…taking an individualised approach and what is the ‘window of opportunity’.

We run through the benefits and risks, touching on why you might not want to take HRT, for varying reasons.

Then there’s the ever-confusing medical terminology - what do we mean by bio-identical hormones and body identical hormones.

Ruth Devlin and Dr Heather Currie MBE are delighted to be joined by their guest for this episode, Dr Becky Smithson, who gives us an insight into a GP's perspective.

Our second series is going well. This week's podcast:

Podcast: HRT: Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) and early menopause

No one is too young to be menopausal. Sadly this statement is true with a significant percentage of people falling into the POI bracket which means they will be under 40 years old and then a further group of people falling into the early menopause bracket which is between the ages of 40 and 45 years.

In this week's Podcast we talk about the relevance of blood tests and how to provide adequate support and treatment.

We chat about the importance of replacing estrogen, if possible, if you go into an earlier menopause and we tentatively start to chat about testosterone…to be continued!
