What other myths about HRT do you hear?

One of the most common reasons we hear for why women are scared of taking HRT is because they think it will cause breast cancer.

The truth is, the risks of HRT depend on the type of hormones you are prescribed. Any risks of hormones are in women who take synthetic (chemically altered) hormones and not in those women who take natural (body identical) hormones. This means that there are also risks with hormonal contraceptives as these all contain synthetic hormones.

Some studies have shown that women taking combined HRT containing both estrogen and a progestogen (which is a synthetic progesterone) may be associated with a very small increased risk of breast cancer. However, this increased risk was not found to be statistically significant.

The increased risk is related to the type of progestogen in the HRT and not the estrogen. Taking micronised progesterone (the body identical progesterone) has not been shown to be associated with an increased risk of breast cancer.

Women taking estrogen-only HRT have been shown to have a lower future risk of developing breast cancer compared to women not taking any HRT.

A PSA for partners.

Times of hormonal changes - whether it’s PMS, PMDD, postpartum depression, perimenopause or menopause - are periods of enormous physical and neurological changes.

Fluctuations in hormones can affect mood, sleep, anxiety, concentration and emotional resilience. When partners don’t understand this, relationships can suffer, often through no fault of either person - it’s just the context is missing.

Learning what’s happening hormonally is one of the most meaningful ways to show support. There’s dedicated information you can share with partners on our app, for anyone who wants to better understand these changes and support the women in their lives in the way they actually need.
