Understanding HRT: The Questions to Ask Your Doctor is a plain-speaking companion for anyone weighing up hormone replacement therapy during perimenopause or menopause. It explains what HRT is, how it is prescribed, and the trade-offs that clinicians weigh before making a recommendation. This is not a book that tells you what to choose — it equips you to make the decision properly with your own doctor, armed with the right questions at the right moment. From the difference between patches and pills to the meaning of body-identical hormones, from blood-clot risk to how long treatment is typically continued, every chapter demystifies the clinical conversation. You will learn what to ask at a first consultation, how to describe your symptoms with precision, and how to review your treatment over time. Written in calm, accessible language, it takes your concerns seriously and never dismisses your experience. Your body, your history, your decision — made with your clinician, on your terms.
