Sydney Menopause Doctor, Dr Sonia Verma
Menopause Hormone Therapy (MHT)
At the Menopause Treatment Clinic in Sydney, our Menopause Hormone Therapy (MHT) is designed to provide a tailored and compassionate approach to managing menopause symptoms.
Led by Dr Sonia Verma, a specialist GP with a special interest in women’s hormonal health, we offer personalised MHT plans that address the unique hormonal needs of each woman during perimenopause and menopause.
What is Menopause Hormone Therapy (MHT)?
MHT (menopausal hormone therapy) is the current Australian term for HRT; they are the same treatment. It uses oestrogen, plus a progestogen if you have a uterus, given as tablets, patches or gels. The Australasian Menopause Society considers it the most effective treatment for hot flushes and night sweats.
Dr Sonia Verma tailors the type, dose and form of MHT to your symptoms, medical history and preferences, and reviews it with you regularly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Menopause Hormone Therapy (MHT)
Is MHT safe for women over 50?
Yes, MHT can be safe and effective for women over 50, especially when started within 10 years of menopause onset. Dr Sonia Verma will evaluate your medical history to ensure it’s a suitable option for you.
What are the side effects of MHT?
Common side effects may include breast tenderness, bloating, or spotting. However, these often improve with time or dose adjustments. Dr Verma will closely monitor your response to treatment.
Is MHT the same as HRT?
Yes. MHT and HRT are the same treatment. ‘Menopausal hormone therapy’ is the term now used in Australia because the medicines treat menopause symptoms rather than simply ‘replacing’ hormones. Dr Sonia Verma tailors the type, dose and form (tablet, patch or gel) to each woman.
