Menopause & Hormone Support at our clinic is for women and people assigned female at birth who are in perimenopause, menopause or post menopause. It covers symptoms like hot flushes, mood changes, sleep problems and long term health risks. If you are unsure what stage you are in, a menopause appointment is a good place to start.

Perimenopause usually begins with changes in your cycle, such as more frequent, less frequent or heavier periods, along with symptoms like hot flushes or mood swings. Menopause is when you have had no period for 12 months. Your GP can review your symptoms, history and sometimes tests to help work out your stage.

Blood tests are not always needed for Menopause & Hormone Support, especially if you are over 45 with typical symptoms and changing periods. In some situations, such as earlier menopause, surgical menopause or complex medical histories, your GP may suggest tests. Together you can decide what is useful and how results will guide your care.

Your GP will review your personal and family history, including blood clots, breast cancer and heart disease, before making any recommendations.
