Menopause: diagnosis and management - National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE)


This guideline covers the diagnosis and management of menopause, including in women who have premature ovarian insufficiency. The guideline aims to improve the consistency of support and information provided to women in menopause.

- The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists has produced guidance for gynaecological services during the COVID-19 pandemic.

- In December 2019, in response to an MHRA safety alert on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and the risk of breast cancer, we replaced the table in the recommendation on breast cancer risk with a link to the MHRA's advice on HRT risks and benefits. We will also update this recommendation as part of the planned update to the guideline.
