Female Hormone Replacement

Support through perimenopause and menopause at Verve Cosmetic Clinic. Speak with our doctor about managing hormonal symptoms with a plan made for you.

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) in Sydney

Our hormones change as we age, and those changes can affect far more than we sometimes expect, from mood and energy to sleep, metabolism and sexual wellbeing. For women, the most significant shift comes with menopause, which unfolds across three stages: perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause.

As you move through perimenopause, levels of the hormone oestrogen gradually decline, and this is when many women first notice symptoms. Hormone replacement therapy is a doctor-led treatment that can help manage these symptoms by supporting the hormones your body is producing less of. At Verve it always begins with a consultation, where our doctor assesses your health and history before recommending whether treatment is appropriate for you.

Women often come to us for help with symptoms such as:

Hot flushes and night sweats
Mood changes, low energy and disrupted sleep
Other changes, such as reduced libido

How Long Does Perimenopause Last?

Perimenopause is the transition leading up to menopause, when your hormone levels start to fluctuate. It varies a great deal from woman to woman, but it commonly lasts for several years. Menopause itself is reached once you have gone twelve months without a period, and the years after that are known as post-menopause. Because the timeline is so individual, part of what we do at your consultation is understand where you are in that process.

What Are the Symptoms Experienced?

Menopausal symptoms differ widely, both in which ones appear and how much they affect you. Common experiences include hot flushes and night sweats, disrupted sleep, changes in mood such as anxiety or irritability, low energy and fatigue, difficulty concentrating, vaginal dryness, reduced libido and aches. Some women are barely troubled, while for others these symptoms have a real impact on daily life.

How Can These Symptoms Be Managed?

There are several ways to manage menopausal symptoms, from lifestyle adjustments through to medical treatment. For many women, hormone replacement therapy can be an effective option, but whether it is right for you depends on your individual health, history and preferences. Our doctor will talk you through the approaches that suit your situation so you can make an informed decision.

How Does Hormone Replacement Therapy Work?

Hormone replacement therapy works by supporting the hormones your body produces less of during and after menopause, which can help ease many of the symptoms above. There are different approaches to treatment, and the most suitable one, along with its benefits and risks, is something our doctor determines with you based on a full assessment of your health. This is why HRT is always tailored to the individual rather than offered as a one-size-fits-all treatment.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is HRT right for me?

That depends on your symptoms, your health and your medical history, which is why treatment always starts with a consultation. Our doctor assesses whether hormone replacement therapy is a suitable option for you and discusses the benefits and risks before anything is decided.

Do I need a referral to book?

No referral is needed. You can book a consultation directly with our team to discuss your symptoms and options.

How soon might I feel a difference?

This varies from person to person and depends on the approach agreed with your doctor. Some women notice a change within a few weeks, while for others it takes longer, and your treatment may be reviewed and adjusted over time.

Is hormone replacement therapy safe?

Hormone replacement therapy has both benefits and risks, and how they apply to you depends on your individual health. Our doctor goes through these with you as part of your assessment so you can make an informed choice, and your treatment is monitored over time.

What happens at my first appointment?

Your first appointment is a consultation. Our doctor asks about your symptoms, your health and your history, may arrange any tests that are needed, and talks through whether hormone replacement therapy or another approach is right for you.
