What will happen the first time I visit an HRT clinic?
All doctors and clinics have their own individual approach but our clinic would be fairly typical. We find it helpful for our patients to complete a brief questionnaire before consultation. This is designed to provide us with an overview of your symptoms and your expectations should you elect to start HRT. Details of any family history of heart, bone, DVT / pulmonary embolism, or breast disease are recorded. General and pelvic examinations are important to reassure you that there are no physical problems.
There is always a choice of treatment. We discuss the potential benefits and possible problems of HRT in general and for you as an individual in particular. Each patient receives an information leaflet. If a patient is uncertain as to how she wishes to proceed we suggest that she returns in about four weeks.
