Menopause

Are you experiencing hot flushes, ‘brain fog’ or changes in your menstrual cycle? You may be going through the menopause. Although menopause affects half the population, and over 80% of women experience menopausal symptoms, accessing reliable support and guidance can often be challenging.

Our specialist service is designed to help manage the menopause and identify chronic health risks that often emerge during midlife.

We take a holistic, personalised approach, not only addressing symptoms but also focusing on overall wellbeing through tailored advice on exercise, nutrition, sleep, and stress management.

Understanding the Menopause

Menopause is a natural life stage marked by a significant decline in oestrogen, which often brings both physical and emotional challenges. One of the first signs is a change in your usual menstrual pattern; your periods might become lighter, heavier, or less regular before stopping altogether.

Each woman’s experience of menopause is unique. Some may have only mild symptoms for a short time, while others may experience more prolonged and disruptive effects on daily life.

Common symptoms include hot flushes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, changes in libido, joint discomfort, disturbed sleep and mood fluctuations. Treatments focus on easing these symptoms and improving quality of life.

Menopause Treatments

The menopause transition can also coincide with other health changes. As oestrogen levels fall, the risk of conditions such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease and certain cancers can increase. These conditions often develop silently as high blood pressure, diabetes and bone loss, for example, may not cause noticeable symptoms in the early stages.

We provide detailed health assessments and targeted screenings to detect and prevent potential problems early on.

Our medical care is guided by the latest recommendations from the British Menopause Society and NICE. Treatment plans are individually tailored and may include Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).

HRT can ease menopausal symptoms, protect long-term health, and is especially recommended for women who experience early menopause. Alongside medical support, we also emphasise a holistic lifestyle approach to managing menopause.
