7 reviews

Lenzetto is a clear and colourless solution which is sprayed onto your inner arm. The pump bottle is small and easily popped into a handbag. It can be a great option for women who haven't absorbed the oestrogen well from other products. Lenzetto also has the advantage of being easy to titrate the dose up and down when advised by your healthcare professional. Lenzetto needs to be used with a progesterone if you have a uterus.

Method

Continuous HRT is where you take the same dose of both oestrogen and progesterone every day. It is used when your periods have stopped or when you have used cyclical HRT for more than 1 year. The aim of continuous HRT is to prevent bleeding.
Cyclical HRT is where you take breaks from the progesterone part of HRT, usually each month. You will usually have a withdrawal bleed around the time the progesterone has stopped. Some methods of HRT have this break built in already.
Oestrogen is the main component of HRT. If you have a uterus and are using oestrogen HRT then you will need to take a form of progesterone to protect the womb lining (endometrium) from overgrowing, as this can increase the risk of endometrial cancer.

I was taking Everol Patches for 18 months and saw little to no improvement in my symptoms especially my sex drive Since changing to Lenzetto I have seen a massive difference my blood tests have also seen an improvement in estrogen levels. I feel I am getting “old Kate” back finally and not just want to hide indoors anymore.

Started initially on orstrogel but found no benefit. Changed to Lenzetto with some improvements. 1 GP was not happy to give higher dose than 3 sprays but a different one was. When I asked to try Prasterone, GP didn’t know what it was, but read up on it & was then happy to prescribe. Still having irregular spotting which is thought to be related to my VA & anterior prolapse. So VA not fully resolved. Wait for prolapse appt is 6 months locally. In the meantime I’m uncomfortable still. GP support has been good, but I was more knowledgeable about Lenzetto & Prasterone & I noticed my own prolapse in spite of being previously examined multiple times. I am convinced this is why my VA isn’t settling

My experience has overall good, I did think that once on hrt and testosterone, I’d get my sex drive back. That’s not really happened. Every other symptom has gotten better. So I’m thankful for that. Life is so much better now, happy home again.

It took a while to get on the right regime at the right dose, but now things are fairly stable. It is just the side effects that are not so much fun

Having struggled with early onset perimenopause and struggling with symptoms from my early 40’s, HRT has been a lifesaver for me. I had irregular menstrual cycles overnight, started getting terrible night sweats, heart palpitations, crippling fatigue, depression and anxiety, skin problems, sore and aching joints I’m the worst brain fog and concentration imaginable! I literally became a shadow of my former self, lost my confidence, doubted my intelligence and felt lost, and I had no idea why. Obviously, I was “too young” at my age for all that nonsense, wasn’t I?! It wasn’t until I started getting hot flushes and heart palpitations during the day that the penny dropped and I finally went to see my GP to ask for help. My NHS GP was extremely supportive, thankfully, as I’ve heard that quite a lot of ladies struggled to be taken seriously or patronised, especially if they didn’t fit the criteria in terms of being the right “age” for menopause. My GP arranged blood tests for thyroid, blood sugar levels, vitamin deficiencies as well as FSH levels. My oestrogen reading confirmed a diagnosis of premature ovarian insufficiency/early onset menopause. Due to my age and feeling horrendous, I requested a referral to a menopause specialist (whom I chose to see privately as I did not want to wait any longer after living half a life for over three years)! Luckily I could afford to do this and I do not take this for granted in anyway. For me, no amount of money is too much to pay when your quality of life is so poor and you’re struggling to do the most basic day-to-day things. I am now fortunate to have one of the leading consultants in the specialised field of menopause care treating me and he has over the years worked with me to find the best treatment to manage my symptoms and ensure that my transition into menopause is as comfortable as can be. Firstly, I am using the gold-standard in HRT - trans-dermal body identical preparations, made from yam extract, which is made to mimic the body’s own natural production of hormones. It is backed by science, entirely safe and helps my body find a balance to manage the sometimes debilitating symptoms of hormonal decline. In addition, replacing my oestrogen now in my fourties’ means that I’m protecting my bones from osteoporosis and heart issues into old age, so it’s a win win! As I still have periods, I take body identical progesterone to protect my uterus and regulate my cycle. I also use testosterone daily, which helps my cognitive symptoms and energy levels. In terms of genito-urinary symptoms, I use oestrogen vaginal pessaries on alternate days of the week as well as an oestrogen cream on the other days, to ensure I keep things comfortable and pain-free down below. HRT has been a lifesaver for me. I cannot begin to explain how replacing my depleted hormones with safe, tested and proven preparations has given back to me what my body has decided it can’t make in the same way as it used to. I’m putting in exactly what I used to make myself in abundance, and frankly why not! Gone are the days when women just “got on with it” and accepted menopause and the devastating and life-limiting conditions it can be. More should be done to educate everyone about this subject and more importantly, women should feel empowered and ready to take their health seriously and demand the care they deserve, especially if life is a struggle due to something that can easily be remedied. Invest in excellent female health care early will save billions for the NHS in preventative treatments before illness and health complications can take hold. Vive la revolution and Vive HRT!!

Tried the patches but found they didn’t stick very well. Spray is so easy to use. Fortunately I’ve not had any obvious side effects and recommend HRT
