Bone health is an essential part of healthy ageing, yet bone loss often happens quietly, without obvious symptoms.

A bone density scan (DEXA or DXA) is a quick, safe and painless way to understand the strength of your bones and your future fracture risk.

Using a very low dose X-ray, the scan measures the levels of calcium and minerals within your bones, giving an accurate picture of their density and overall health. Your results are presented as a T-score and Z-score, allowing us to compare your bone strength to both a healthy young adult and others of your age.

Importantly, this scan can detect early changes before problems arise, giving you the opportunity to take proactive steps to protect your bone health.

Taking action early can make a significant difference to your long-term strength, mobility and independence.

Beyond Hormones;
Women’s Wellbeing Is Not Just Reproductive Health

Women’s health has historically been reduced to fertility and periods.
But true wellbeing includes:
• Mental health
• Metabolic health
• Sexual health
• Sleep
• Strength
• Nutrition
• Preventative screening
• Confidence
International Women’s Month is about empowerment, but empowerment starts with education.

When women understand their bodies, they make better decisions.
And when healthcare listens, outcomes improve.

March it International Womens Month, and the theme is GIVE TO GAIN

The pay gap isn’t about women “not trying hard enough.”
It’s about unequal access to leadership, part-time work penalties, career breaks, bias, and lack of support at key life stages.

One overlooked factor? Menopause at work.
When women don’t get the health support they need, it can impact confidence, progression, and pay over time.

We asked one of our patients whether she would be comfortable sharing her story. She said yes, and asked us to make sure other women heard it.

She had visited her GP four times with the same cluster of symptoms:
• Disrupted sleep
• Overwhelming anxiety
• Brain fog
• Joint pain
• A growing sense that she was not herself

Each time, she left with a different explanation.
Stress.
“Probably perimenopause”, but not explored.
A referral that took seven months.

By the time she arrived to us, she was exhausted, physically and emotionally.

Her first appointment lasted over an hour.

By the end of it, she had:
✔ A clear diagnosis
✔ A personalised treatment plan
✔ And, for the first time, a clinician who had connected all the dots

She asked us to say this:
If you are recognising yourself in her story, please do not wait as long as she did.

The GP shortage in England is real and well documented. Recent BMJ data confirms the system is operating at less than half the GP levels considered clinically safe. When time is limited, complex conversations, particularly around menopause and women’s health, are often the first to fall through the gaps.

You do not have to keep waiting.
No referral required.
British Menopause Society–accredited specialist care.
Appointments available.

Menopause:
Not the End. A Transition.

This International Women’s Month, we celebrate strength, progress and equality.
But we must also talk about biology.

Menopause is defined as 12 months without a period.
One day.

Yet the hormonal changes surrounding it influence decades of health.
Declining oestrogen affects:
• Brain function
• Bone density
• Heart health
• Skin
• Vaginal and bladder health
• Muscle mass
• Mood

Menopause is not the end of vitality.
It is a biological transition, one that deserves informed, evidence-based medical understanding.
For too long, women have been told to “just get on with it.”

This International Women’s Day, we move from silence to science.
From dismissal to data.
From coping to informed care.
Because equality in health matters too.

March marks Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, an important opportunity to raise awareness of a condition that is often referred to as a “silent disease” because its symptoms can be subtle and easily mistaken for other common conditions.

Ovarian cancer affects thousands of women each year, and early recognition of symptoms can make a significant difference to outcomes.

Symptoms to be aware of include:
• Persistent bloating or abdominal swelling
• Pelvic or abdominal pain
• Feeling full quickly or difficulty eating
• Increased urinary urgency or frequency
• Unexplained fatigue
• Changes in bowel habits
These symptoms are often persistent and occur frequently, rather than occasionally.
While many of these symptoms can be caused by other, less serious conditions, it is important that women listen to their bodies and seek medical advice if symptoms are new, unusual, or persist for several weeks.
Risk factors can include:
• Increasing age
• Family history of ovarian, breast, or related cancers
• Certain genetic mutations such as BRCA1 or BRCA2
• Endometriosis
• Never having been pregnant

There is currently no national screening programme for ovarian cancer, which makes awareness of symptoms particularly important.
If you are experiencing persistent symptoms or have concerns about your risk, speak with your GP or healthcare professional.

Raising awareness helps encourage earlier conversations, earlier diagnosis, and better outcomes for women.

Why is sleep so important during menopause?

Dr Caitlin Chasser from explains why sleep can become more disrupted during this stage of life - and why supporting it is so important for overall health.

As hormones shift during perimenopause and menopause, changes in oestrogen and progesterone can affect sleep quality, body temperature regulation, mood, and stress response. For many women, this can lead to difficulties falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking feeling unrefreshed.

That’s why understanding what’s happening in your body is so valuable.

Our Wellwoman Checks at Bristol Menopause & Wellwoman Clinic provide a comprehensive health assessment designed specifically for women at every stage of life. We go beyond standard screenings, evaluating key areas such as hormone balance, cardiovascular health, metabolic function, and nutritional status, all of which can influence sleep and overall wellbeing.

Its Myth Busting Monday again!

This week, for Endometriosis Awareness Month, we’re addressing the myth that endometriosis always disappears after menopause.

While symptoms improve for many women, that’s not true for everyone. Some women continue to experience pain after menopause, as small amounts of oestrogen can still stimulate endometriosis tissue.

Ongoing symptoms deserve proper assessment and support.
