I am a GP and Menopause Expert in West Midlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When women [I know I go on about this] take HRT, their skin changes \u2013 their hair changes, their nails \u2013 they just glow \u2013 they feel so much better. They look so much better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But other people who won\u2019t consider it or don\u2019t know enough about it \u2013 they spend a fortune trying to have their skin better\u2026their hair get better and it\u2019s not the same and it\u2019s not helping them internally as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think people are scared about HRT because they don\u2019t understand. There are very few women who are anti-HRT who know all the facts\u2026so it\u2019s quite different. I feel very strongly about trying to educate women and then they can make a choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You see, life is about a risk\u2026we cross a road we take a risk. We drink a glass of wine we take a risk. We take HRT \u2013 not all types but some types \u2013 there is a small increased risk of breast cancer. But it is offset by all the benefits as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now people who have horrendous symptoms, they are prepared to take risks because their lives\u2026their quality of life becomes so much better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Louise Newson puts the risks of taking HRT into perspective. #6 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1191,"template":"","subject":[78,26],"content-type":[22],"library-format":[23],"library-author":[],"class_list":["post-1915","menopauselibrary","type-menopauselibrary","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","subject-british-sign-language-library","subject-hrt","content-type-video","library-format-watch"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.balance-menopause.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/menopauselibrary\/1915","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.balance-menopause.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/menopauselibrary"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.balance-menopause.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/menopauselibrary"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.balance-menopause.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1191"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.balance-menopause.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1915"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"subject","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.balance-menopause.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/subject?post=1915"},{"taxonomy":"content-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.balance-menopause.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-type?post=1915"},{"taxonomy":"library-format","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.balance-menopause.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/library-format?post=1915"},{"taxonomy":"library-author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.balance-menopause.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/library-author?post=1915"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
