HRT will stop your hot flushes and sweats
Troublesome hot flushes, severe night sweats and headaches causingchronic insomnia are characteristic symptoms of the menopause.These symptoms may last for many years. Apart from being socially embarrassing they result in tiredness and depression because of lack of sleep. These symptoms can almost invariably be cured with the correct small dose of estrogen. Although selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor antidepressants have been suggested for the treatment of vasomotor symptoms, no other treatment is nearly as effective as estrogen. Women who still have a uterus should still have 7–12 days of progesterone in order to produce a withdrawal bleed and prevent endometrial hyperplasia.
