considered alongside or as an alternative to HRT, the draft guidance says.</p><p>It was also found to help sleep problems related to menopause, including, how long it takes to fall asleep and how long before waking.</p><p>The draft guideline lays out clearly the risks and benefits of taking HRT that can be used to help people when they are discussing with their clinician whether to start HRT. Detailed tables lay out the evidence for effects on cardiovascular disease, stroke and dementia risks as well as cancers of the breast, ovary and womb.</p><p>The draft guideline highlights that, while it is important that people know about the risks associated with HRT, it is also important they are made aware it is unlikely to increase or decrease their overall life expectancy.</p><p>While there is some evidence around taking HRT and breast cancer risk in early menopause (ages 40 to 44), there is a lack of evidence about the effects of taking or not taking HRT on overall health outcomes in this age group. The committee therefore made a recommendation for more research to address this.</p><figure class="Blockquote_quote__Skftl"><blockquote><p><span style="color:rgb(14, 14, 14)">Today’s draft guideline recommends more treatment options for managing menopause symptoms as well as enabling a wider understanding of the risks and benefits of HRT.</span></p></blockquote><figcaption class="blockquote-footer">Professor Jonathan Benger, chief medical officer at NICE</figcaption></figure><figure class="Blockquote_quote__Skftl"><blockquote><p><span style="color:rgb(14, 14, 14)">It is important that healthcare practitioners take a personalised approach when discussing treatments, using evidence-based information tailored to individuals’ circumstances.</span></p></blockquote><figcaption class="blockquote-footer">Professor Jonathan Benger, chief medical officer at NICE</figcaption></figure><p>The updated draft guideline also includes new recommendations on the management of genitourinary symptoms such as dryness, painful sex and vaginal discomfort or irritation. A choice of vaginal oestrogen such as cream, gel, tablet, pessary or ring should be offered to women, trans men and non-binary people registered female at birth, including those on systemic HRT, and treatment should be continued for as long as it’s needed to relieve symptoms.</p><p>The draft updated menopause guideline is live for public consultation from 17 November 2023 to 5 January 2024.
