GP update: Menopause and HRT

This webinar from Dr. Eloise Elphinstone provides an update on managing unscheduled bleeding in postmenopausal women on hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Key points include new guidance on assessing bleeding risk factors and adjusting HRT regimens. Case studies demonstrate approaches to controlling bleeding through modifying estrogen and progesterone doses or alternatives like the Mirena coil. Guidance is also given on ultrasound results and referral pathways. Options for complex cases involving progesterone intolerance or premature ovarian insufficiency are explored. The talk aims to help GPs confidently manage common menopause issues and determine when specialist referral is appropriate. YouTube of this podcast available here https://youtu.be/2dYJiv8-IIQ
