For an estimated eight out of 10 women who experience physical and emotional symptoms leading up to menopause, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a treatment option.
It's not the only way to manage perimenopause symptoms - there are plenty of HRT alternatives to consider if you don't want to take or can't take the medication - but it's undoubtedly one of the most popular, with more than two million British women taking HRT for issues like hot flushes, night sweats, insomnia, vaginal dryness, and more.
