What is it?
Menopause is a natural stage of life that begins when periods stop permanently; the transition leading up to it can last several years. Hot flushes, changes in sleep, vaginal dryness and mood fluctuations are common symptoms. Counselling assesses these symptoms, reviews long-term matters such as bone and heart health, and discusses suitable options on an individual basis.
Who is it for?
- Women in their forties whose periods are becoming irregular
- Those experiencing hot flushes, sleep problems or mood changes
- Women who want regular check-ups after the menopause
- Anyone who notices bleeding after the menopause
How does it work?
Assessing symptoms
The changes you are experiencing and how they affect your daily life are discussed in detail.
Examination and screening
A gynaecological examination, ultrasound and age-appropriate screening tests are planned.
Bone and general health
A bone density scan and blood tests are requested if needed.
Discussing options
Lifestyle advice and suitable treatment options are shared together with their possible benefits and risks.
Afterwards and recovery
Menopause is a transition, not an illness, and follow-up is shaped by your needs over the years. The course of symptoms and the recommended approach differ from woman to woman.
