What you’ll explore
What HRT is — and why it exists. How your hormones work like a dimmer switch in perimenopause, and what hormone replacement is actually doing (and not doing) in the body.
The four hormones, in plain language. Oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone and DHEA — what they do when they are balanced, and how it can feel when they drop.
The main types of HRT, explained simply. Oestrogen-only, combined, body-identical, testosterone for women, and local / vaginal oestrogen — plus who each is generally for.
Non-hormonal options. Approaches for women who cannot take HRT, or who prefer to start somewhere else.
The questions women are most afraid to ask. Is it safe? Will I gain weight? Can I start while I still have periods? What if my doctor dismisses me? How long might I need it?
What to say to your doctor. Clear, usable language for a ten-minute appointment — so you can walk in informed rather than lost.
This guide is not a prescription, and it is not a verdict on whether HRT is right for you. It is the honest overview Dr Kamila wished she had — including the reminder that hormones are not the whole story.
