Hormone Replacement Therapy Side-Effects
In some cases HRT may be an appropriate treatment, but there are widely reported side-effects.
In addition, as the menopause can last five or even six years, the thought of taking medication for such a prolonged period of time can be worrying, especially when the HRT side-effects are so well known.
The following list includes potential Hormone Replacement Therapy Side-Effects:
- acne

- bloating
- breast tenderness or swelling
- increased risks of certain cancers (breast, ovarian and womb)
- depression
