Can I have HRT if I’m perimenopausal?

Yes. Many people start HRT during perimenopause, when hormone levels begin to change, and symptoms first appear. You do not need to have stopped your periods to start treatment. HRT can help ease symptoms such as hot flushes, mood changes, poor sleep and brain fog during this stage. Your specialist will discuss the best type of HRT for you, which may be taken in a cyclical pattern to work alongside your natural cycle.
