Menopause
We provide services for women with a wide range of menopause-related problems. This includes providing advice on lifestyle changes and treatments to help manage symptoms, and signposting to additional services.
About the menopause
The menopause is defined as the point in when menstrual cycles stop and a woman is no longer able to get pregnant naturally. This typically happens around the age of 45 to 55 years. We understand that for some women, menopause can be an extremely distressing time. Many women may experience development of symptoms that can have a very debilitating and damaging impact on quality of life. The menopause also coincides with a time in your life when the risks of certain diseases start to increase, which can make decisions about treatments difficult.
