Lots of points have been raised over recent days since the guest post by Dr Newson.

Some posters were asking for more varied opinions.

On this page you can find a series of videos by some leading experts.

Hope it's helpful.

You can also find BMS advice on the tab PUBLICATIONS/ 'Consensus Statements' on the menu .

Thanks for this

I hope more people will look at this, especially as there is a bit of a backlash against private prescribing and advice.

Thanks for this heads up . Despite being on Oestrogel I suffer a great deal from bladder/cystitis type infections - I shall certainly raise this with my doctor the next time I have one .

You possibly need vaginal estrogen as well.

I have read quite a bit this evening and am impressed by how many strides have been made in the last 8 years or so . I have decided to go to a private menopause clinic for advice after reading this d2931px9t312xa.cloudfront.net/menopausedoctor/files/information/580/GSM%20for%20BSSM%20FINAL%20version%20with%20links.pdf

I hadn't heard of this backlash, would you mind explaining ? I'm curious as I've seen a private GP and now I'm worried!

@Y0YO I'm not going to go into details as it's a bit sensitive, but all I will say is that there was a guest post by a private dr (Mumsnet has since taken it down.) Some posters felt it was biased because the dr runs a private clinic. It wasn't anything to do with private care as such.
