Many women with high cholesterol or poor lipid balance have \u003cstrong\u003eno obvious symptoms\u003c\/strong\u003e, and their risk is frequently underestimated or untested. What makes this particularly important for women is that oestrogen plays a protective role in keeping cholesterol balanced: as oestrogen declines during perimenopause and menopause, LDL cholesterol typically rises, HDL falls, and triglycerides increase — often rapidly and without warning. Women on the contraceptive pill or HRT may also see significant shifts in their lipid profile.
