About
About the menopause
Menopause is a natural biological process marking the end of a woman's menstrual cycles, typically occurring between ages 45 and 55. It is diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period. During menopause, the ovaries gradually produce less oestrogen and progesterone, leading to various physical and emotional changes.
Common symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, sleep disturbances, and vaginal dryness. While menopause is a natural phase of life, its symptoms can significantly affect daily comfort and quality of life.
SwiftDoctor offers prescription HRT and menopause treatment online, assessed by UK-registered clinicians following a short consultation. Available as HRT gel or HRT tablets, treatment is tailored to your symptoms and delivered discreetly to your door.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) works by replacing the oestrogen and, where needed, progesterone that the body produces less of during menopause. This helps relieve symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, mood changes, and vaginal dryness. HRT is available in several forms, including oestrogen gels applied to the skin and tablets taken daily. The most appropriate form and dose for you will be confirmed by your SwiftDoctor clinician during your consultation.
Oestrogel is an oestrogen gel applied daily to the skin, which delivers oestrogen through the body to relieve menopause symptoms. Utrogestan is a progesterone capsule taken alongside oestrogen by women who have a uterus, to protect the lining of the womb. They are often prescribed together as part of a combined HRT regimen. Your SwiftDoctor clinician will confirm which products are appropriate for your situation during your consultation.
Most women experiencing menopause or perimenopause symptoms are suitable for HRT. It is particularly beneficial for those with significant hot flushes, night sweats, mood changes, or other symptoms that are affecting quality of life. HRT is not suitable for everyone, however, and your medical history, including any personal or family history of certain cancers or blood clots, will be reviewed during your SwiftDoctor consultation to confirm whether it is appropriate for you.
Most women notice an improvement in symptoms such as hot flushes and night sweats within a few weeks of starting HRT, though it can take up to three months to feel the full benefit. Mood changes, sleep, and other symptoms may take a little longer to settle. Your SwiftDoctor clinician will review your progress and can adjust your prescription if needed.
HRT is considered safe and effective for the majority of women with menopause symptoms. Current evidence from NICE and leading menopause specialists suggests that the benefits of HRT outweigh the risks for most women under 60, and that body-identical HRT carries a lower risk profile than older synthetic versions. As with all medication, individual risk factors matter, and your SwiftDoctor clinician will review your full medical history before prescribing to ensure HRT is the right option for you.
Most menopause symptoms can be assessed and managed through a routine consultation. However, seek urgent medical attention if you experience unexpected vaginal bleeding after the menopause has been established, as this needs investigation. You should also seek prompt advice if you develop chest pain, shortness of breath, or swelling in a leg, as these can indicate serious conditions that may be relevant to your treatment. If in doubt, contact your SwiftDoctor clinician or GP.
