What’s your take on HRT?
HRT or not?
First of all you hear that HRT will alleviate those annoying side effects of menopause.
Then you hear that HRT may harm you, possibly harm you seriously.
Then you hear that HRT could harm you a little but will still make life easier here and now.
What are you going to do?
As if life isn’t troublesome enough at the moment without the worry of deciding if you need Hormone Replacement Therapy.
I know some women who are happy with HRT, they decided that the benefits to them well outweighed the risks involved. It’s a personal choice and we’re all old enough to make up our own minds now.
Have your say – To HRT or Not to HRT

I think it is worth exploring natural ways of managing your symptoms – at least initially. Sometimes a few simple adjustments combined with some relaxation can help a lot.
Majority of women enters into perimenopausal period around age of 35 , many of them even earlier. Peri-menopausal period is characterised with the following changes:
• various hormonal imbalances of sexual hormones – which change from day to day (progesterone, estrogens, FSH, LH, testosterone) are changing their levels constantly
• there is major tendency to FSH and LH levels raising up, but hormonal tests are very unreliable due to the constant change of hormonal levels. BTW, what is normal for one person, it does not to be normal for the other.
• FSH and LH hormones, which are directly connected with producing the eggs, very often raise up, because body wants to burn the rest of the eggs as soon as possible, because there is not enough estrogens, progesterone and testosterone to keep the balance and support fertility. Excess of FSH and LH can create extreme desire for having the child, even if this desire is not realistic.
• various hormonal imbalance of all other hormones as hormones of thyroid, pancreas, pituitary, adrenal glands etc. Level of such hormones are also in constant change – they can change several times per day.
• life energy drops down quickly – due to the constant hormonal change, because body is using all resources of minerals, vitamins, tissue salts etc. on extremely intensive way, while not being balanced with hormones.
• mood changes are so typical in that period – ups and downs in feelings, blues and waltz are exchanging very often
• problems with weight,
• shape of the body might start to change
• various problems with skin can become very obvious – skin very quickly shows first signs of aging and hormonal changes
• sexual hormones support our immune system as well – so many women develop various chronic illnesses in that period
• libido starts to change – extreme ups and downs might become significant
• nervousness, anxiety, sleeplessness
• fatigue and tiredness
• lack of focus, lack of concentration
• lack of wish to connect with other people
• animosity towards opposite gender

I think it depends on your circumstances, it really depends on your medical history whether HRT is right for you or not. It certainly needs clear and deep thought and you should talk to your doctor and do your own personal research about HRT.
