Menopause, Perimenopause, what is it and how we can help

A topic to some that may seem taboo, when it really doesn’t need to be… Going through the Menopause is a natural part in a typical woman’s life during ageing. Whether you are either curious of what to expect later in life, or you may believe to have begun noticing changes in yourself, or know you have had symptoms for some time and are coping with the Menopause, we can help. 

Transitioning into and going through this phase of life can seem daunting to some, when we feel it doesn’t need to be. As women, it’s normal to want to know more about yourself, learn to understand what our bodies need in finding balance and make use of the proven scientific knowledge to help along the way. 

As when we were once young, our bodies change throughout our life and the focus has begun to shift in a perspective of viewing our life as a whole, towards healthy ageing.

Based in Cambridgeshire and led by local GMC Registered Doctors, we offer an in-person and virtual service. 

We recognise as individuals we may have our similarities in sharing an experience, when each and everyone has their own journey, a path which is unique to ‘us’. If you feel that you need guidance or maybe thinking of needing to know more, you can take the initial steps with us for a no obligation, Free Consultation.

FAQs

  • Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a treatment designed to help women manage symptoms caused by hormonal imbalances, particularly during menopause. It works by replenishing the body with hormones such as estrogen and progesterone to alleviate symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances.

  • HRT is typically used by women experiencing symptoms of menopause or other hormonal imbalances. It can also be beneficial for women with early menopause or those who have had surgical menopause due to hysterectomy or oophorectomy. Your eligibility for HRT will be assessed during your consultation.

  • HRT can help alleviate menopausal symptoms such as:

    • Hot flashes and night sweats

    • Mood swings and irritability

    • Sleep disturbances

    • Vaginal dryness and discomfort during intercourse

    • Bone density loss, reducing the risk of osteoporosis

    HRT also helps maintain heart and bone health in post-menopausal women.


  • As with any medical treatment, there are some risks associated with HRT, including an increased risk of blood clots, stroke, or breast cancer for some women. However, the risks are dependent on your individual health history, the type of HRT you take, and how long you use it. Your clinician will thoroughly assess your risk factors before recommending treatment.

  • Many women begin to notice improvements in their symptoms within a few weeks of starting HRT. However, it can take up to 3 months for the full benefits to become apparent. Regular follow-up consultations will ensure your treatment is progressing as expected.

  • There are several types of HRT, including:

    • Estrogen-only HRT: Typically prescribed for women who have had a hysterectomy.

    • Combined HRT (Estrogen and Progesterone): For women who still have a uterus, this combination reduces the risk of endometrial cancer.

    Topical HRT (Creams, Patches, Gels): For women who prefer non-oral options. Your clinician will discuss which type is best suited to your symptoms and lifestyle.

  • During your consultation, the clinician will review your medical history, discuss your symptoms, and conduct a comprehensive health assessment. Blood tests may be taken to check hormone levels. Based on the results, a personalised treatment plan will be created for you.

  • HRT can be administered in several forms, including oral tablets, patches, gels, or creams. Your clinician will recommend the best method based on your preferences and health needs.

  • Yes, we offer a holistic approach by combining HRT with personalised fitness and nutrition coaching. This helps support overall wellbeing, maintain muscle and bone health, and promote healthy lifestyle habits that complement hormone therapy.

  • There is no set duration for HRT, as it depends on individual symptoms and needs. Some women may only need it for a few years, while others may benefit from longer-term use. Your treatment plan will be regularly reviewed to ensure it continues to meet your health goals.

  • For most women, HRT can be safely used for several years, though it depends on individual risk factors. Your clinician will regularly monitor your health and adjust your treatment plan as needed to minimise risks and maximise benefits.

  • Some common side effects of HRT include:

    • Bloating

    • Breast tenderness or swelling

    • Nausea

    • Leg cramps

    • Headaches These side effects are usually mild and may resolve as your body adjusts to the treatment. If any side effects persist, your clinician will adjust your dosage or type of HRT.

  • Yes, you can stop HRT whenever you wish. However, it’s recommended that you consult your clinician before discontinuing treatment to ensure a gradual reduction, as stopping suddenly may cause symptoms to return.

  • Yes, one of the benefits of HRT is that it can help maintain bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis, especially in post-menopausal women.

  • HRT is not directly linked to weight gain. However, weight gain is common during menopause due to hormonal changes and ageing. By improving your hormone levels, HRT may help balance weight gain by improving energy levels and supporting metabolism.

  • HRT may not be suitable for everyone. Women with a history of certain conditions, such as breast cancer, heart disease, or blood clots, may need alternative treatments. Your eligibility will be thoroughly assessed during your consultation.
