Medical options other than hormone therapy
Hormone therapy is an effective treatment for many menopause symptoms, but it’s not right for everyone. Some people don’t want to take hormones, and some people can’t. For example, hormone therapy is contraindicated with breast cancer and best avoided for people with conditions like stroke.
There is a range of other medications that have been found to help with menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes and night sweats. Some of these medications also have an impact on mood and wellbeing. Your Menopause Wellbeing clinician will discuss your options and create a personalised treatment plan.
