The go-to manual for anybody considering starting HRT and navigating the perimenopause journey
Most General Practitioner visits are 10-15 minutes long – never enough time for a GP to take you through all the ins and outs of hormone replacement therapy. Written by Dr Ellie Cannon, a practising GP specialising in women’s health, this easy-to-read guide condenses everything doctors wish they had time to tell you.
With the amount of conflicting information on menopause, navigating the journey can be overwhelming. It’s been framed in some quarters as the panacea – the more hormones you take, the better you’ll feel. But there are a lot of GPs concerned that women are being over-promised a positive menopause and that the only solution is more hormones.
Dr Ellie is here to redress the balance: she is supportive of HRT but sensible about the pros and cons. With her level-headed and impartial approach, she doesn’t ask women to jump on the HRT bandwagon, but offices clear advice as you start your research during perimenopause. She summarises information in digestible chunks so you don’t need to scour an encyclopaedia of medicine to get your answers.
Getting to the crux of HRT, this is your personal GP consultation from start to finish – all questions answered.
