Dr. Trish Davis provides patient centred care with menopause at the heart of the discussion.
At the Rebalance Your Life clinic we aim to support and guide women individually, with particular reference to the role of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in line with guidance from the British Menopause Society as well as discussion of diet modification and lifestyle advice.
In addition, men can have testosterone management in accordance with guidance from the British Society for Sexual Medicine.
Dr. Davis is a member of and holds the Certificate in Menopause Care from the British Menopause Society.
Hormone Replacement Therapy
As recommended by the British Menopause Society we use regulated Body Identical hormone therapy which is the safest kind of HRT.
Non-regulated Bioidentical HRT otherwise called Compounded Bio-HRT, uses synthetic manufactured hormones that are precise duplicates of hormones.
There is absence of medical evidence to support the way that these are used. For example, the dose of bioidentical progesterone used has not been proven to be sufficient to protect the endometrium in the presence of estrogen against cancer.
The same regulatory pathway of evaluation of the MHRA are not followed by manufacturers of bioidentical hormones. And so, the safety of these medications is simply unknown. Further data from large studies is required and this will be available we hope in the near future. However Dr Davis has completed training in bioidentical hormone therapy also and is able to advise if this might be the right type of HRT for you.
