Overview
Combined hormone replacement therapy (HRT) using Oestrogel (oestrogen gel) and Utrogestan (micronised progesterone) is a commonly prescribed option for managing menopause symptoms in women who still have a womb.
Oestrogen helps relieve symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, low mood, and sleep disturbance. Progesterone is taken alongside oestrogen to protect the lining of the womb.
Learn More About This Treatment
- Oestrogel delivers oestrogen through the skin, helping to stabilise hormone levels and relieve symptoms.
- Utrogestan provides progesterone, which counteracts the effect of oestrogen on the womb lining and reduces the risk of endometrial thickening.
Treatment Offered
Oestrogel pump + Utrogestan capsules (dose determined by clinician).
How to use
- Apply Oestrogel to clean, dry skin as directed.
- Take Utrogestan capsules exactly as prescribed (continuous or cyclical use).
What to expect
- Some symptom improvement may be noticed within a few weeks.
- Full benefit can take up to 3 months.
- Dose or regimen may be adjusted during follow-up.
Like all medicines, HRT can cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them.
Common side effects may include:
- Breast tenderness
- Headache
- Nausea
- Irregular bleeding, particularly in the first few months
Important Information:
- Not suitable for everyone
- Certain medical conditions may mean HRT is not recommended
- Suitability is assessed during the consultation by a UK-registered clinician
