Making informed choices
Approaches can include hormone therapies, non-hormonal medicines and lifestyle measures. Suitability depends on your symptoms, medical history and preferences. Decisions are best made together with your GP or specialist.
Hormone therapy (HRT)
HRT replaces declining hormones and is available in different types and delivery methods, including tablets, patches, gels and sprays. Your healthcare professional can explain potential benefits, risks and suitability.

Non-hormonal options
Some people consider non-hormonal medicines or over-the-counter options. Discuss potential effects and interactions with your GP or pharmacist before starting anything new.
Lifestyle and wellbeing
Physical activity, balanced nutrition, sleep routines and stress management can support comfort and long-term health. Small, sustainable changes often help day to day.
Complementary approaches
Therapies such as CBT, mindfulness or acupuncture are explored by some people. Evidence varies, so professional advice is recommended, especially if you take other medicines.
