I get asked quite a lot of questions during the course of a day out our wemons wellness clinic, and one of the more frequent ones, regarding HRT and menopause is, Doesn't HRT have other benefits, such as improving your sex life or eliminating wrinkles?

Doctors believe there's good evidence that estrogen helps improve some menopause symptoms such as stress incontinence - the loss of urine when coughing or sneezing, for example - and relieve vaginal dryness. A new study shows it might decrease the risk of Alzheimer's disease or lessen some symptoms. Women report many other benefits on sex life and skin, but there aren't good studies to document those benefits.
