        THE BENEFITS OF HRT
women CONSIDER HRT for many different reasons, the most common being to relieve symptoms associated with the menopause. In addition, women at risk of fractures due to osteoporosis, or likely to develop heart and blood vessel disease, may have HRT recommended to them by their medical practitioners. The same advice is increasingly given to women with existing osteoporosis, or those with a diagnosed heart or blood vessel condition, the rationale being that HRT may prevent these problems getting any worse.
HRT and menopausal symptom control
Hot flushes and sweating often prompt menopausal women to seek medical assistance. Other common reasons for consultations include psychological symptoms like loss of concentration and 'feeling blue', general tiredness, irritability, vaginal dryness and pain with intercourse, loss of libido, urinary frequency and persistent urinary discomfort.
