Dr Paula Briggs, Consultant in Sexual & Reproductive Health, Liverpool Women’s Hospital and Chairman - British Menopause Society, answers these FAQs: What are the bleeding patterns that could be expected with HRT? I am taking a cyclical HRT preparation that is giving me a monthly bleed. Can I change to a non-bleed preparation? Is bleeding in the first few months of starting HRT a cause for concern? When does this need to be investigated? What are the causes of irregular bleeding in women on HRT? What investigations need to be carried out if I have ongoing irregular bleeding on HRT? Do I need to stop HRT or change how I take it if I have irregular bleeding on HRT?

There is far too much fear around bleeding on MHT - it takes years to develop endometrial cancer, it doesn't just happen after a few months! Even in the past when estrogen alone was used, only a minority ever developed endometrial cancer. I do think women are being scared witless unnecessarily. The combined pill can also be a great option for under 50s - taken every day it can stop bleeding completely as well as treating vasomotor symptoms!

How would you evaluate if you need more progesterone versus less estrogen? what target numbers would you look for in testing?
