The announcement of free hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in Budget 2025 is a significant step forward, yet it raises concerns about the growing assumption that every woman requires HRT for menopause management.
Despite the excitement among 'meno-influencers' celebrating the budget news, there was a noticeable lack of reminders about HRT not being a necessary solution for all women experiencing menopause.
HRT is being treated as though it’s indispensable for managing menopause symptoms, but it’s essential to acknowledge that it is not a one-size-fits-all remedy.
The promotion of free HRT could contribute to increased societal pressure on women to consider it as a default therapy, overshadowing the fact that individual needs vary widely.
