HRT in Manchester — expert prescribing, personalised to you
Hormone Replacement Therapy is the most effective treatment for menopause symptoms. our doctor offers specialist HRT prescribing in Manchester — the right type, dose and delivery for your body and your life.
Body-identical HRT
Modern HRT uses body-identical hormones — oestrogen and progesterone that are chemically identical to the hormones your body produces naturally. This is different from the older synthetic hormones used in some studies that raised safety concerns.
Body-identical HRT is available as patches, gels, sprays and tablets. The right delivery method depends on your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle and personal preference — all of which our doctor will discuss with you.
Testosterone for women
Testosterone is a hormone that women produce naturally, and it declines significantly around menopause. Low testosterone in women can cause fatigue, low mood, brain fog and reduced libido. our doctor can assess and prescribe testosterone therapy where appropriate — a treatment that is often not available on the NHS.
Is HRT right for you?
For most women, the benefits of HRT significantly outweigh the risks. The evidence has changed substantially since older studies. our doctor will review your individual risk profile, discuss the evidence honestly, and help you make a fully informed decision.
Finding the right HRT for you
Oestrogen gel or spray
Applied daily to the skin. Easy to adjust dose. A popular first choice for many women.
Oestrogen patches
Changed twice weekly. Consistent dose delivery. Good option if you prefer not to apply daily.
Progesterone (Utrogestan)
Body-identical micronised progesterone. Taken orally or vaginally. Lower risk profile than synthetic progestogens.
Mirena coil as progesterone
If you have a Mirena coil, it can provide the progesterone component of HRT — potentially simplifying your regime.
Testosterone
Prescribed as a gel applied to the skin. Dose is lower than male formulations. Often transformative for energy, mood and libido.
Vaginal oestrogen
Local treatment for vaginal dryness and urinary symptoms. Safe for long-term use, including alongside systemic HRT.
