Consultant-Led HRT Care in Central London
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) at LSDC Healthcare is delivered through a consultant-led, medically governed pathway focused on safety, symptom control, and long-term health outcomes.
We prescribe both standard licensede-approved HRT and regulated bioidentical hormone preparations, tailored to individual risk profile, symptom burden, and personal preference.
Care is delivered in a private, unhurried clinical environment in the City of London, with careful counselling and structured follow-up.
What Is Bioidentical & Standard HRT?
HRT involves replacing declining oestrogen, progesterone, and, where appropriate, testosterone to relieve menopausal symptoms and protect long-term health.
Standard HRT refers to licensed preparations recommended by UK and international guidelines.
Bioidentical HRT uses hormones chemically identical to endogenous hormones, prescribed in regulated, clinically appropriate formulations.
All prescribing at LSDC Healthcare adheres to evidence-based medical standards.

HRT prescribing at LSDC Healthcare is distinguished by:
Consultant-led risk–benefit assessment
Clear differentiation between licensed, regulated, and non-regulated preparations

FAQ — Bioidentical & Standard HRT
What is the difference between bioidentical and standard HRT?
Both use hormones similar to natural hormones, but standard HRT is licensed and guideline-recommended, while bioidentical HRT refers to regulated formulations with identical molecular structure.
Is HRT safe?
For most women, when appropriately prescribed and monitored, the benefits outweigh the risks.
Do you prescribe compounded hormones?
No. We prescribe only regulated, evidence-based hormone preparations.
Will HRT cause weight gain?
HRT does not typically cause weight gain and may help redistribute fat during menopause.
How long can I stay on HRT?
Duration is individualised and reviewed regularly based on benefit and risk.
Is HRT covered by private insurance?
HRT consultations are usually self-funded, though some investigations may be covered.
