Hormone Replacement Therapy. Your Questions Answered by Internal Specialist, Dr Mera

I am a female in my late forties and over the last couple
of months started to suffer with night sweats, I firstly
thought that this maybe due to the weather being
unusually warm but now I have started with mood
swings and hot flushes which are becoming more
regular. Is there any natural form of hormones I can
take to ease these symptoms as think I am entering the
menopause?

You should contact your Doctor and enquire if Bioidentical
Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) would be suitable for you.
These Bioidentical hormones are derived from plant oestrogens and
are chemically identical to those produced by the human body.
Oestrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are among those most
replicated and can be administered in various ways. Personalised gels
and creams can be manufactured at specialised pharmacies, these are
especially effective as are tailored specifically for the individual needs.
BHRT can be used to treat men as well as women but is most
frequently used to ease perimenopause and menopause symptoms.
Osteoporosis and thyroid problems can also be easily treated with this
hormone therapy.
Contact your GP as additional clinical information and several tests
must be taken to decide if the benefits of BHRT outweigh the risks.
If you have any questions, then email Dr Mera directly on

In “Persistent Poor Health Post-COVID-19 Is Not Associated With Respiratory Complications or Initial Disease Severity,” Liam Townsend, MD, and co-authors looked at a number of measures of recovery for 153 patients who were followed in an outpatient clinic a median of 75 days after their COVID-19 diagnoses.

“We found that fatigue, ill-health and breathlessness were all common following COVID-19,” said Dr. Townsend of the Department of Infectious Diseases, St. James’s Hospital and Department of Clinical Medicine, Trinity Translational Medicine Institute, Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland. “However, these symptoms appeared to be unrelated to the severity of initial infection or any single measurement at the time of an outpatient appointment.”
