Menopause Treatments In Brighton & Hove
We can offer treatments and suggest lifestyle changes if you have menopausal symptoms that interfere with your day-to-day life.
These are as follows:
- Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is very effective at helping to relieve many of the menopausal symptoms . It replaces the hormone oestrogen which your ovaries stopped producing. It has benefits and risks. It’s important to assess the risks and benefits of taking HRT, and have full consultation with Dr Fidal.
HRT comes in different forms like tablets, skin patches, gels to apply to the skin, tablets to insert into the vagina, nasal spray, cream to insert into the vagina and vaginal ring.
- Vaginal lubricants and moisturisers, and oestrogen creams can help with vaginal dryness.
Some women use complementary therapies marketed for menopausal symptoms, such as red clover, black cohosh, evening primrose oil, soy and dong quai. Speak to your GP or Dr Fidal before trying these in case they’re not suitable for you, as they may interact with your prescribed medicines.
