The number of women in England who took HRT was up 12 per cent from 2.3 million in 2022/23 and double the 1.3 million in 2018/19, according to new NHS data. The number of prescriptions for hormone replacement therapy has also risen to a record high, with 13 million items prescribed in 2023/24. This is up a fifth on the previous year. HRT replaces the hormones oestrogen, progestogen, or both, in women going through the perimenopause or menopause. It can relieve symptoms such as anxiety, insomnia and hot flushes, and is often administered as gels, creams, tablets and patches. The Mail has campaigned to improve access to HRT and several high-profile celebrities, including Penny Lancaster and Davina McCall (right), have spoken about how the menopause has affected them.

Why menopause is killing so many midlife marriages - and how you can fix it, by MARIELLA FROSTRUP

www.dailymail.co.uk, October 14, 2024
Recently (and light-heartedly) I asked my husband how he found me during menopause. I knew I had suffered as a result of my hormonal chaos, with two years of insomnia, stress and anxiety from the age of 49, but I was sure that I'd skilfully concealed the inner turmoil pretty well, and my family had been left unscathed. Turns out, those years weren't as emotionally straightforward for him as I'd thought!

Former patients of celebrity menopause expert Dr Louise Newson have revealed they became suicidal after being prescribed HRT as the medic said she is the victim of a 'witch-hunt'. One woman, now 54, has raised concerns with MailOnline about the treatment she received while she was a patient at Newson Health in 2022. 'I was a patient with the Group until I self-harmed and tried to end my life after taking HRT 'prescribed' by them,' she said. The woman, who was prescribed oestrogen gel and progesterone tablets for her symptoms, claimed the advice she received was to 'use as much or as little of oestrogen gel to overcome your symptoms, it's up to you to decide'. But when approached for comment, Newson Health said the claim was 'in no way representative of Newson Health's prescribing practice or philosophy'.
