Oestrogen-Only HRT
Women who have had a hysterectomy may be prescribed oestrogen alone, as progesterone is not usually needed to protect the lining of the womb.
Personalised hormone replacement therapy for women in the UK, with medically guided treatment designed to relieve symptoms, restore balance, and support long-term wellbeing.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is used to replace hormones that naturally decline during menopause. As hormone levels change, many women experience symptoms that affect energy, mood, sleep, focus, libido, and overall wellbeing.
At Origin HRT, treatment is tailored to the individual and may include oestrogen, progesterone, and, where clinically appropriate, testosterone. The aim is not only to improve symptoms, but to support long-term health and quality of life.

HRT is not one single treatment. The most suitable option depends on whether you still have a uterus, where you are in the menopause transition, your symptoms, and your wider health profile.
Women who have had a hysterectomy may be prescribed oestrogen alone, as progesterone is not usually needed to protect the lining of the womb.
Women who still have a uterus usually require progesterone alongside oestrogen. This helps protect the lining of the womb and forms an important part of safe long-term treatment.
Sequential HRT is often used for women who are still having periods or whose periods stopped more recently. Progesterone is added in a cyclical way to better reflect this stage of transition.
Continuous combined HRT is commonly used after periods have stopped for longer. Oestrogen and progesterone are taken together continuously, usually without monthly bleeding.
In some cases, testosterone replacement therapy may also be considered alongside HRT where clinically appropriate. This may be discussed for symptoms such as low libido, reduced energy, or ongoing wellbeing concerns after a full clinical assessment.
HRT can be prescribed in different formulations depending on symptoms, medical history, preferences, and how treatment is best tolerated.
Transdermal HRT is commonly used and may be preferred in many cases. These options are practical, flexible, and often well tolerated.
Oral HRT may still be appropriate for some women depending on treatment goals, symptoms, and broader clinical considerations.
Vaginal oestrogen creams, tablets, or pessaries may be used for symptoms such as dryness, discomfort, and urinary changes.
Hormone-releasing devices and other specialist formulations may be used where appropriate as part of a tailored treatment plan.
Hormone replacement therapy should always be guided by careful clinical assessment. Symptoms, age, medical history, menstrual status, and wider health risk factors all influence which treatment approach is most appropriate.
At Origin HRT, care is designed around the individual. This may include discussion of treatment options, symptom patterns, and where appropriate, blood markers or further screening to ensure treatment is both safe and effective.
The goal is not simply to prescribe HRT, but to provide treatment that is appropriate for the individual and reviewed over time to support long-term wellbeing.
Choose from two hormone and health blood testing options, each designed to support personalised HRT assessment and treatment planning.
A focused hormone blood test for women aged 45 and over, covering key hormone markers commonly reviewed during perimenopause and menopause.
A comprehensive blood test covering a wider range of hormone, thyroid, metabolic, inflammation, vitamin, and wellness biomarkers for a deeper health assessment.
All blood tests purchased through Origin HRT include a doctor consultation, allowing your results, symptoms, and treatment options to be reviewed professionally.

Contact UsStarting HRT should feel clear and well supported. Our process begins with bloodwork, either completed through Origin HRT or provided by you, followed by a doctor consultation to review your results, symptoms, and treatment options.
Before your consultation, you can either complete blood testing through Origin HRT or provide recent blood results you already have. Blood tests purchased through Origin HRT include a doctor consultation as part of the package.
During the consultation, your symptoms, menstrual status, medical history, risk factors, and available blood results are reviewed in detail. From there, suitable treatment options can be discussed more clearly and safely.
If treatment is started, follow-up remains an important part of care. Review appointments help ensure the treatment continues to be appropriate, effective, and well tolerated over time.
Having blood results available before your consultation gives the doctor a clearer clinical picture and helps support a more informed discussion around HRT suitability, treatment options, and next steps.
