For many women, menopause can be a difficult change to accept. As the hormones oestrogen and progesterone drop, women experience a host of unpleasant sensation, including hot flashes, vaginal dryness, sleep problems, mood swings and decreased libido. Women can mitigate menopausal changes via hormonal replacement therapy which returns oestrogen and progesterone levels to pre-menopausal levels. But when should women start HRT and is it suitable for every woman? Join Dr Premitha Damodaran, Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, and Dr George Lee, Consultant Urologist on a lively discussion of hormonal replacement therapy.
