Hormone Health Hub: Expert Insights on Testing, Balance & Better Living — early HRT

Early menopause affects around 5% of women aged 40 to 45, yet it is frequently misdiagnosed or dismissed.

This article combines a first-person account of early and surgical menopause with a clinical overview of causes, health risks, and the importance of comprehensive hormone testing. Whether your menopause arrived early, unexpectedly, or surgically, understanding your hormone status is the essential first step towards effective, personalised treatment.
