HRT is proven to be the most effective treatment for symptom control in menopause, and overall long term health benefits.
However, for some , HRT is not advisable or recommended.
The National Institute of Clinical Effectiveness (NICE) has carefully looked in alternative treatments, and based on evidence, have recommended a number of non-hormonal options. Most of these provide relief from vasomotor symptoms such as hot flushes, but some have added benefit to improve mood and sleep.
There are both prescription based treatments (such as some anti depressants, Gabapentin, Clonidine), and non prescribed treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
If you want to know more about treatments alternative to HRT, please ask at your appointment.
