Bleeding on HRT - information for women who still have a womb
Experiencing vaginal bleeding while on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is common, especially for women who still have a uterus. The type and timing of bleeding can vary depending on the HRT regimen—continuous or sequential. While light, short-duration bleeding is often considered normal, especially with sequential HRT, unscheduled or prolonged bleeding may indicate underlying issues such as endometrial hyperplasia or cancer. It's crucial to monitor bleeding patterns and consult with a healthcare provider if irregularities occur. Early detection and appropriate adjustments to HRT can help manage symptoms and reduce risks.
