Menopause Myths and Facts
Myth 1: Menopause and HRT Is Complicated
Fact: Simplified menopause care is all about replacing the hormones your body no longer produces in sufficient amounts, with hormones that are the same, like for like. This is not and should not be a complicated process. At 23MD, we make this process easy to navigate. We provide information that is understandable, relatable, and accessible. We focus on your well-being both in the short term and long term, always keeping in mind to keep things simple along the way.
Myth 2: HRT Is Dangerous
Fact: Modern HRT is safe for women. There were many studies in the early 2000s that caused anxiety about the risks of HRT. Most of these studies involved the use of progestogens ( which increase the risk of breast cancer) rather than their safer counterpart progesterone. The benefits, including improved quality of life and protection against osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and mental decline, far outweigh the risks for most of not all women. At 23MD, we personalise your HRT to ensure it’s the best and safest fit for you.
Myth 3: Menopause Symptoms Only Last a Few months or Years
Fact: Symptoms can last for several years, and every woman’s experience is different. 23MD offers ongoing support to help you manage symptoms effectively. We have seen women who are suffering night sweats and poor sleep for 10 years after their last period.
Myth 4: Bioidentical Hormones Are Always Safer
Fact: While bioidentical hormones can be beneficial, it’s important to differentiate between regulated bioidentical HRT and custom-compounded bioidentical HRT (cBHRT). The latter is unregulated, so it must be prescribed following UK GOVERNEMET snd GMC guidelines. Again this is not complicated, and proper understanding is always necessary before you embark on any long term medications.
Myth 5: HRT Is Only for Hot Flushes
Fact: HRT addresses a wide range of menopause symptoms, from mood swings to joint pain, poor sleep, immune difficulties, and even helps protect against heart disease and osteoporosis.
Myth 6: Menopause Only Happens After 50
Fact: Menopause can occur earlier, with premature menopause affecting about 1% of western women before age 40, but uop to 10% of women from Asian subcontinent. At 23MD, we provide tailored treatments for women at all stages of menopause.
Myth 7: Menopause Only Affects Physical Health
Fact: Mental and emotional health can also be impacted during menopause. Symptoms like increased anxiety, mood swings, tearfulness, and irritability can all be a new experience as hormones decline. Our comprehensive approach addresses all aspects of menopause.
