Health in Menopause

Our team of doctors provide specialist menopause advice to women in perimenopause, menopause, surgical menopause, early menopause and POI.

Each woman is an individual, her experience of the menopause is unique, but it needn’t be lonely. For many women symptoms start in the perimenopause and continue beyond the menopause. Hot flushes and night sweats are well known but less well known are the psychological effects of the menopause - low mood, anxiety, poor sleep, brain fog, loss of confidence etc. These can negatively impact quality o

f life, relationships and ability to work. Symptoms can last on average for 7-8 years but for some women they continue for decades. Throughout your appointment at Health in Menopause, our expert doctors will take time to listen and to explore how the menopause is affecting you. They will provide evidence-based advice and guidance regarding lifestyle measures to reduce your symptoms. As GPs, we are well qualified in providing holistic health care and have the experience to advise on the role of HRT in relieving the symptoms of the menopause and optimising your future health. With the correct advice, help and support this can be a positive phase of life. But if you’re struggling with symptoms and unsure what to do, book an appointment today. Don’t wait, it’s already been too long.

Did you know migraine symptoms can change during perimenopause and menopause?
⁣
Fluctuating hormone levels (especially fluctuations in oestrogen) can trigger migraines or make them worse for some people during perimenopause.⁣
⁣
You might notice:
• More frequent migraines
• Changes in migraine patterns
• New onset of migraine with aura⁣
⁣
For others, migraines may actually improve after menopause, once hormone levels stabilise. But if you’re still struggling, you’re not imagining it, and help is available.⁣
⁣
There are treatments that can support both hormone balance and migraine relief, so it’s worth speaking to a healthcare professional who understands the link between hormones and neurological symptoms.⁣

📣 The MHRA has become the first regulator in the world to approve elinzanetant (Lynkuet) for the treatment of moderate to severe hot flushes and night sweats caused by menopause.

Elinzanetant is a non-hormonal medication that works by calming overactive brain signals that disrupt temperature control during menopause, offering another treatment option for those who cannot or prefer not to take hormone-based therapies.

The approval follows results from the OASIS clinical trials, which showed significant symptom reduction over a year in over 1,400 women.

We welcome this step forward in expanding choice and access in menopause care, and we’ll share more information on availability and prescribing as it becomes clearer.

📅 How often will I need to be seen at the clinic?

After your initial consultation, we usually see you again in around 3 months to check how you’re getting on with treatment. Once everything is working well and you’re settled on HRT, a review is usually only needed annually.

Annual reviews are essential for safe prescribing, especially if you’re continuing your medication through Health in Menopause. ✨

Did you know? 💡

A study of over 750,000 US veterans found that cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is strongly linked to a lower risk of death, regardless of age, s*x, or race.

We learned more about this at the conference, and the message is clear: Staying active during and after the menopause transition can have a big impact on your long-term health.

🏃‍♀️ The fittest individuals had the lowest mortality risk
📉 Those in the least fit group were 4x more likely to die than the fittest
🧓 This held true even for people in their 70s and 80s
💪 No increased risk was found in people with extremely high fitness levels

Regular movement really does matter, especially in midlife and beyond. The biggest gains can be had from going from doing nothing to doing something.

Menopause as a biological and psychological transition was one of the standout visuals from the BMS Annual Conference last week 👇

This graph shows how menopause symptoms don’t all appear at once; they evolve over time.

🟠 Hot flushes are most common in late perimenopause and early postmenopause
🔵 Sleep issues and 🟡 mood changes peak at a similar stage
🟣 Cognitive symptoms often start earlier in the transition
🔴 Sexual and urogenital symptoms tend to emerge later and continue postmenopause

A powerful reminder that menopause is a journey, not a single moment.

Our team had a brilliant time attending the 34th Annual Scientific Conference from the British Menopause Society last week - Menopause: Achieving an Equilibrium.

It was an inspiring two days full of expert insight, collaborative conversations and practical discussion around the latest in evidence-based menopause and post-reproductive health care.

Highlights included:
🧠 Dr Claudio Soares on perimenopausal depression and quality of life after cancer
💪 Professor Robin Daly delivering the Pat Patterson Memorial Lecture on strength, exercise and nutrition
❤️ Dr Susan Connolly discussing women’s cardiovascular health
🥗 Professor Sarah Berry exploring personalised nutrition and metabolic health
🌸 Miss Elaine Palmer and Dr Inge Kreuser-Genis speaking on GSM and the v***a
🗞️ Professor Janice Rymer wrapping up with a brilliantly witty Hot Off The Press session

We’re feeling energised by the work being done to improve care and outcomes for women, and excited to put our learnings into practice with the patients we support every day.
