Verbatim
“HRT can eliminate hot flushes and sweats, and help with vaginal dryness”
“For the whole of my career in menopausal health, the BMS has been part of my professional life. I am pleased now to partner with the Society on this new initiative.”
“It all comes down to individual risk. In most cases, the benefits of HRT outweigh potential risk.”
“First and foremost, HRT is for women who are either within the normal menopause age range of 45-55, who have menopausal symptoms, or are under the age of 45 and going through an early menopause. Then there are women who are post-menopause who have still got ongoing symptoms. For about 10 to 15 per cent of women, their symptoms will last into their 60s.”
“many women turn to supplements but no be all of dem dey backed by strong scientific evidence”
