I'd settle for a decent HRT prescription service where people aren't shunted from one prescription to another because of interruptions to the supply chain.

A bloody good article Sue. It is absolute cynical rot and probably a lot of it is peddled by men who have no idea. Good on you for writing this. I was really annoyed when a certain publication I write for picked up on its menopausal benefits which were in this case only right down the list and told them how ridiculous I thought it all was.

Thank you for a great article. Also so many women are wary of HRTs due to scare mongering headlines & studies where ‘data is used to construct the desired conclusion’.

Thanks so much. And very important women make informed choices about HRT.

A diet with a good mix of different protein sources including sources of iron, vegetables, fruit and dairy or other sources of calcium is the way to go. HRT will manage symptoms of the menopause if required. There are so many options. If a GP is not helpful request a referral to a specialist hospital HRT clinic.

Amen to that. So happy that menopause is being talked about openly but hating that it is so obviously being monetised.
