What is HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy)? When should you start HRT?

What does transdermal and body identical HRT mean, and why is it better for you than synthetic HRT?

Everyone is different and getting the HRT balance right might take some time. What are some of the common side effects to the different hormones? How long does it typically take to get the dosage and combination right? Can women in Perimenopause be prescribed Testosterone? 

Why has HRT got such a bad rep? We talk about the Women's Health Initiative Study that started in 1993 but was halted in 2002 over concerns of increased risk of breast cancer, heart disease, strokes and blood clots. This led to confusion and concern from doctors and women and use of HRT fell sharply. It is now clear that the results of this study can’t be applied in modern day. Dr. Mayura Mahadevan from the @Menopausecare Clinic explains why.
