Menopause
Introduction
Menopause management has been controversial since early research linked menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) with an increased risk of breast cancer. As a result, many patients have missed the potential benefits of treatment. Current evidence supports a more balanced, individualised approach: clinicians can manage menopause effectively while assessing risk, selecting appropriate therapy, and supporting shared decision-making. This article outlines a practical approach to the safe management of menopause and the appropriate use of MHT.
