Is HRT Right for Me? How Mira Helps Make That Decision Easier
Navigating hormone therapy decisions can be complex. Mira's hormone tracking technology offers personalised insights into your hormonal patterns, helping identify whether estrogen, progesterone, or other factors are contributing to your symptoms. This data empowers you and your healthcare provider to make informed, tailored decisions about HRT, ensuring a treatment plan that aligns with your unique hormonal profile. Discover how Mira can guide you through this important decision-making process.
How the Mira Monitor Can Help You Understand Your Hormone Chaos
Experiencing fatigue, bloating, or mood swings despite normal blood tests? The Mira monitor tracks key hormones—LH, E3G, PdG, and FSH—through daily urine samples, revealing patterns like estrogen dominance or low progesterone. This data helps pinpoint ovulatory cycles and hormonal imbalances, offering clarity during perimenopause. At Sirona Health, we interpret your Mira results in the context of your symptoms, guiding decisions on HRT, supplements, and lifestyle interventions.
Why Perimenopause Feels So Confusing and What You Can Do About It
Are your periods suddenly unpredictable? Mood swings or brain fog creeping in? You’re not imagining it—and you’re not alone. Perimenopause is a hormonal rollercoaster, with fluctuating cycles, sleep issues, anxiety, fatigue, and weight changes—yet a single blood test often misses the bigger picture. At Sirona Health, we use the Mira hormone monitor to track estrogen, LH, FSH, and progesterone levels over time. That way, we can decode how your hormones relate to your symptoms and tailor personalised advice—so you stop guessing and start understanding what’s happening in your body.
Navigating the Decision to Stop HRT: What We Know — and What We Still Don’t
Thinking about stopping HRT? At Sirona Health, we know there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. While HRT offers relief from symptoms like hot flushes and brain fog, the decision to stop depends on your age, symptom severity, and health risks. And with up to 40% of women experiencing a return of symptoms—some restarting HRT later—making the timing and method right is key. Learn what current guidelines say, why research gaps remain, and how we can support you in making a confident, personalised choice.
Brain Fog in Women: What’s Happening During Pregnancy and Menopause?
Experiencing forgetfulness, difficulty concentrating, or mental fatigue? These are common symptoms of brain fog, particularly during pregnancy and menopause. Hormonal fluctuations, such as changes in estrogen and progesterone levels, can impact brain function, leading to cognitive challenges. While these symptoms are often temporary, they can be managed through lifestyle adjustments, including adequate sleep, stress management, and a balanced diet. In some cases, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may offer relief. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the best approach for your individual needs.
Periods during the perimenopause … what can happen?
Perimenopause involves complex hormonal fluctuations that impact menstrual cycles. Initially, shorter cycles and heavier periods may occur due to higher FSH and oestrogen levels. As follicle numbers decline further, cycles become more irregular, with missed periods becoming more common.
Progesterone for perimenopausal symptoms
Progesterone plays a crucial role in managing perimenopausal symptoms by balancing estrogen levels and supporting overall hormonal harmony. It helps regulate menstrual cycles, alleviate mood swings, and reduce the risk of endometrial hyperplasia. Incorporating natural progesterone, such as micronized progesterone, can be an effective strategy for women seeking to manage perimenopausal symptoms without synthetic hormones. Consulting with a healthcare provider is essential to determine the most appropriate treatment plan tailored to individual needs.
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.
