After completing our pre-appointment questionnaire, you will be invited to our menopause clinic for a face-to-face consultation with our very experienced GP. The menopause care appointment will include a pre-appointment questionnaire followed by a 45 minute appointment with the GP. A 15 minute follow up appointment with the GP after 3 months is included. This allows discussion of your progress and enables us make any changes in your care that might be needed.
You may be entering menopause if you're experiencing symptoms such as irregular periods, hot flushes, night sweats, mood changes, or difficulty sleeping. Perimenopause—the transition phase before menopause—can begin several years before your periods stop completely. A consultation with our GP can help assess your symptoms and offer guidance on managing them effectively.
Yes, menopause can impact your mental health due to hormonal fluctuations. Many women experience mood swings, anxiety, irritability, or low mood. If symptoms are affecting your quality of life, it’s important to speak to a healthcare professional.
Not everyone needs hormone replacement therapy (HRT), but it can be highly effective for managing symptoms like hot flushes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances. Whether HRT is right for you depends on your symptoms, medical history, and personal preferences. Our GP will discuss all your options and help you make an informed decision.
