Some people notice an improvement in symptoms within a few weeks. However, it can take up to three months to feel the full effects.
There is no strong evidence that HRT causes weight gain. However, hormonal changes during menopause may affect your weight and how your body stores fat.
HRT comes in several forms, including tablets, patches, HRT gel (like Oestrogel), sprays (such as Lenzetto), and vaginal products. Each option works slightly differently.
Stopping HRT too quickly may lead to the return of menopause symptoms such as hot flushes, mood swings, or trouble sleeping. It’s best to reduce treatment gradually under medical supervision.
You can order HRT treatments from Pharmaceutra by completing a short online consultation. Approved prescriptions are delivered quickly and discreetly across the UK.
