Menopause is often managed badly — either dismissed as inevitable or treated with a blanket prescription. Our approach starts with a proper symptom review and an assessment of your individual risk profile before any decision about hormone therapy is made.
Equally important is what comes after: bone density, cardiovascular risk and cholesterol all shift at menopause, and these are worth managing in the decade that follows rather than discovering later.
Hot flushes, night sweats, sleep disruption, vaginal dryness and joint pain, addressed with hormonal or non-hormonal treatment as appropriate.
Fracture-risk assessment, vitamin D and calcium review, and referral for bone density scanning where indicated.
Blood pressure, lipid profile and diabetes screening, because cardiovascular risk rises sharply in the years after menopause.
We go through the benefits and the risks as they apply to your history — not the headline version. Some women are clear candidates, some are not, and many do well on non-hormonal treatment. You leave with the reasoning written down, and a review date.
Perimenopause commonly begins in the mid-forties and can last several years before periods stop. Symptoms often start well before the cycle changes, which is why they get missed.
For most healthy women starting within ten years of menopause, the benefits generally outweigh the risks. It is not suitable for everyone, particularly with a history of certain cancers, clots or liver disease, which is exactly what the assessment is for.
There are effective non-hormonal options for hot flushes, sleep and mood, along with local treatments for vaginal symptoms that carry very little systemic absorption.
Not everyone. We assess your fracture risk first and refer for a DEXA scan when that assessment justifies it.
