My periods stopped three years ago and I still feel awful. Would HRT help me? Or should I just wait for the symptoms to subside. I am 52.

Menopause-like symptoms well after the menopause may be due to other factors such as low iron levels or low thyroid function, so it is best to check with your doctor - they can test for these.

Your doctor would also be able to tell you if HRT would still be suitable for you. There are different types and it may depend on your situation as to which one would be appropriate.
