A nationwide campaign in the UK for proven natural menopause
treatments to be available on the NHS and recommended by
GP’s and Heath Care Practitioners has been launched by
Phyto Soya® from French company Arkopharma Laboratories.
A survey, carried out by Yours.co.uk, in association with
menopause experts Phyto Soya®, revealed that 80% of menopausal
women in the UK are not being offered alternatives to HRT and as
a result 66% are left to simply deal with symptoms.
Nearly 1000 menopausal women from all over the UK took part
in the survey. The results were staggering and illustrated
that with heightening concerns about HRT being linked to cancer,
many women are suffering in silence with menopausal symptoms -
caught between not wanting to take HRT due to the health risks
and not knowing about the natural proven remedies available
to them.
The survey also revealed that 47% of UK women were prescribed
HRT when visiting their Health Care Practitioner with menopausal
symptoms, yet half of all women who were originally prescribed
HRT admitted they had stopped treatment due to concerns about
long term health.
It seems that when it comes to looking for information on dealing
with the menopause and advice on treatments, a worryingly high 59%
were not satisfied with their initial consultation with their
Healthcare Professional. Over half said they would have liked
more information on all the options available.
Participate in our South African natural menopause survey and
let us know what you think about the treatment options available.
