    Hi @angelmariya

    I haven't been on on HRT personally but I have heard lots of positive things from women around me who have but it's definitely best to speak to your GP more about this!

    Hopefully some of our members who have been through similar will be in touch to share their experience soon

    Hi @angelmariya I have used HRT and found it helped me.

    It certainly helped with hot flushes and night sweats.

    The above link might be of interest to you.

    Perhaps have a chat with your GP.

    Take care.

    I am on HRT almost 2 years now and it definitely helps especially night sweats . There are different types I think the patches are the most commonly used but mine wouldn't stay on so now I use the gel and a tablet at night .🤗
