Abstract
The last few years has seen a dramatic rise in the number of women seeking advice for the menopause and hormone replacement therapy (HRT).1 Navigating the complexities of HRT and being able to discuss the options available in primary care is, therefore, essential. The aim of this article is to provide key considerations for primary care physicians (PCPs) when considering HRT implementation and also the role of testosterone and vaginal estrogen for symptom management (Figure 1). It is beyond the scope of this article to discuss the role of tibolone, selective oestrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) for managing menopausal symptoms, and PCPs would be encouraged to seek specialist input prior to commencing these treatments.
