It is usual practice for the NHS to only provide conventional HRT to women experiencing the symptoms of the menopause. It is worth discussing this with your GP before embarking on BHRT through a private clinic to find out if you would be suitable for conventional HRT or if you are happy with what it offers.
BHRT is sometimes available on the NHS, as these plants-derived hormones can be used when there are contra-indications for conventional HRT. Again, you will need to discuss this with your GP.
However, even if that is the case, the general practitioner (GP) or a specialised consultant will prescribe a milligram (mg) dose of the bio-identical hormones, rather than a measured or individualised dose prescribed following tests through a private prescription.
It is highly unlikely that anyone considering BHRT for any other reason would be able to access this free of charge on the National Health Service.
We would however always recommend that you visit your General Practitioner before embarking on private treatment for menopausal or andropausal symptoms. As well as their advice and guidance they may also be able to refer you to a local specialist private clinic who can treat you.
