How we write our articles

Every article on the HRT.so blog starts from current clinical guidance, mainly from the Menopause Society and national medical bodies, and from peer-reviewed research. We explain what the evidence shows, where it is uncertain, and what that means for decisions you are likely to face, such as how to choose between a patch and a pill or when it makes sense to start treatment.

Our articles complement the rest of the site. If you are looking for a specific symptom, start with our menopause symptom guides. To understand individual therapies, see the menopause HRT guide and rankings, and to weigh up providers side by side use our comparison tool. Our editorial policy explains how we handle sources, corrections, and affiliate relationships.

Articles are informational and are not a substitute for medical advice. If something you read here raises a question about your own health, take it to a licensed clinician.
