Phyto Soya conducted a survey in conjunction with Yours.co.uk to find out what menopausal women really think about the treatment options available and being offered to them. 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 with menopause symptoms unnecessarily – caught in a void between not wanting to take HRT due to the health risks and not knowing about the natural proven remedies available to them. By signing this petition you are supporting The Phyto Soya Campaign for a Natural Change. This campaign strives to lobby for clinically proven natural treatments to (a) be available on the NHS and (b) to ensure Healthcare Professionals are confident and equipped to provide information and advise about ALL treatment options – not just Hormone Replacement Therapy. Here is a little more information about what our survey with yours.co.uk revealed: 80% of menopausal women in the UK are not being offered alternatives to HRT - as a result 66% are left to suffer in silence. 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. Whilst hot flushes and night sweats were the most commonly reported symptoms, affecting over 70% of respondents, the psychological effects are just as troublesome. 7 out of 10 women experience mood swings and up to 60% suffer from sleep disturbances and feel overly emotional. 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. Dr Sarah Brewer, a private GP and specialist in nutritional medicine agrees with the importance of the Natural Change Campaign: “It does concern me to see statistics like these as it means that many women out there are being given limited options to keep the unpleasant symptoms of the menopause in check. HRT is just one answer but is not a route all women want to take. There are clinically proven natural supplements to help address falling oestrogen levels. It is a real shame that this recommendation isn’t coming more often from a GP or nurse practitioner – people who have looked after their medical needs all their lives.” As the experts in clinically proven natural menopause solutions, Phyto Soya is committed in leading this campaign for a Natural Change – there is no need to suffer in silence.
