HRT - should I or shouldn’t I?

Posted , 1 user is following.

I'm 54, and don't feel as if I have any menopausal symptoms however should I still go on HRT as I've read it can prevent dementia, heart disease etc?

I read so many conflicting documents I just don't know what to do any more. I did have a chat with one of the Dr's at the surgery and he said he wouldn't want me on HRT as a precautionary treatment plus he wouldn't want me on HRT past 60.
