NON-HORMONE TREATMENT
OPTIONS
NON-HORMONE TREATMENTS ARE RECOMMENDED 
AS THE INITIAL CHOICE FOR PATIENTS WITH A 
HISTORY OF BREAST CANCER OR CONDITIONS 
WHERE HORMONE THERAPY MAY NOT BE SUITABLE. 
THEY ARE ALSO SUITABLE FOR THOSE WITH MILD 
SYMPTOMS. 
BODY IDENTICAL MHT
BODY IDENTICAL MHT   MEANS THAT THE 
BIOCHEMICAL STRUCTURE OF THE HORMONES ARE 
IDENTICAL TO WHAT THE BODY PRODUCES 
NATURALLY. THESE ARE TGA APPROVED 
(THERAPEUTIC GOODS ADMINISTRATION), AND 
CONSIDERED SAFE FROM PREVENTING AN 
INCREASE IN THE RISK OF BREAST CANCER OR DEEP 
VEIN THROMBOSIS (OESTROGEN 
GELS/CREAMS/PATCHES).
NON-BODY IDENTICAL HRT
NON-BODY IDENTICAL HRT IS HORMONE THERAPY 
WHERE THE HORMONES ARE NOT IDENTICAL TO 
WHAT THE BODY PRODUCES NATURALLY. SOME OF 
THESE HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO INCREASE THE RISK 
OF BREAST CANCER AND DVT. 
THE ORAL CONTRACEPTIVE 
PILL (OCP)
THE ORAL CONTRACEPTIVE PILL (OCP) CAN HELP 
REGULATE MENSTRUAL CYCLES AND PROVIDE 
SYMPTOM RELIEF. IT CAN BE CONSIDERED FOR 
CONTRACEPTION IN WOMEN WHO WANT TO AVOID 
PREGNANCY DURING MENOPAUSE HORMONE 
THERAPY.
