    291 - ‘I’m 76 and thriving on HRT’
    Jan 14 2025

    In this week's episode of the podcast, Dr Louise Newson talks to Paula, a 76-year-old woman who reached out to share her experience of being on HRT for over 30 years.

    Paula explains how she was prescribed HRT after a hysterectomy when she was 44, following a complicated gynaecological history, which included an ectopic pregnancy, ovarian cysts, fibroids and endometriosis.

    She had been taking HRT for a decade when the 2002 Women’s Health Initiative study was released. Paula explains how she researched the study, then weighed up her personal risk and benefits in discussion with her doctor and made the decision to carry on taking HRT. Paula was happy to stay on HRT and credits it with helping her to feel better in her 70s than she did in her 30s.

Love this informative podcast

At last addressing the elephant in the room! A Brit living in the USA my sister put me onto this podcast and so glad she did! I have been battling the menopause for years and my doctors here do not want to discuss or help with the symptoms! This has been so refreshing and informative thank you Dr Newson - you need to get on a talk show in the states!
