background

I had my last period 8 months ago and I began experiencing hot flushes around 5 months ago. Please can you advise what I could take to stop these flushes? I am currently taking the anti-depressant Sertraline and I am also taking Loratadine. In September I am looking to start HRT after having discussed this previously with my GP. Please can you help?

You won’t get the menopause the minute you turn 50! The average starting age is actually between 45 and 55 and it can often depend on a number of factors including hereditary, weight and health, however every single woman will have an individual menopause.
