Menopause Clinic

For many women, menopause signals a new season in their lives. It begins when a woman – usually in her 50s – does not have periods for at least 12 months. Menopause does have its challenges, among them hot flushes, irritability, vaginal dryness, urinary problems and muscle and joint aches.

Other health concerns at this time include osteoporosis, as well as heart disease, due to decreasing oestrogen levels. Such challenges can be addressed through a number of medical options.

Prior to your periods ending, your hormones can still change enough to cause the same symptoms as mentioned above. This is known as perimenopause and can be just as debilitating.

If you would like to discuss any symptoms you are experiencing please contact the Practice and ask to make an appointment for our Menopause Clinic.
