How do you work out what the right dose of HRT is for you and balance the benefits with any potential risks? In this episode, Dr Louise talks about HRT doses with Corinna Bordoli, who began experiencing menopausal symptoms when she was just 10 years old. Corinna shares her experience of premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) – menopause before the age of 40 – and of the challenges she faced in getting a prescription for a higher dose of estrogen to help both her symptoms and future health. Dr Louise and Corinna discuss why hormone needs and absorption can vary from woman to woman, particularly for those with POI. Corinna’s three tips for those who may suspect they have POI:  1. Keep track of your perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms so that you have evidence when you go to see your doctor. 2. If you are diagnosed with POI make sure you seek out a specialist in the condition to get the best care. 3. If you have POI, find a community of other people with similar experiences for support, such as through the Daisy Network. Sharing your story and hearing other people’s stories can make a huge difference and be healing.
