This webinar will explore the hormonal changes that occur during perimenopause and how they influence common symptoms, particularly low mood. Many women who are still menstruating are prescribed combined HRT or antidepressants, yet progesterone is often the first hormone to decline during this stage. We will discuss the broader role of progesterone in the body, including its potential effects on mood and wellbeing, and consider why this often-overlooked hormone may be important in managing perimenopausal symptoms.
We are delighted to welcome you to our lunch webinar with Dr Naomi Whitelaw who will be presenting on The Roles of Progesterone in HRT.
Learning objectives:
- Consider giving progesterone on its own first with perimenopausal women
- Consider bio-identical progesterone for low mood/depression in perimenopausal women rather than antidepressants
- Hysterectomised women benefit from progesterone too
