🦴 You lose up to 2% of your bone mass every year after menopause. And you might not know until a fracture happens.

Many women at risk of osteoporosis have bone scans that look “normal”. That’s because most fractures happen in people with osteopenia, not full-blown osteoporosis.

But there’s good news.

🧪 Modern tools like FRAX let us estimate your 10-year fracture risk more accurately than a single DEXA score. And if you’re on PPIs, you might need a different form of calcium.

So we will all be using the FRAX tool to ensure our ladies' bones are as protected as they can be.

Being able to talk things through in a non-rushed environment, and discuss the best route forward, together, is the first positive step to helping get you back to you. ❤️

An Initial appointment with one of our Menopause Specialists lasts approximately 45 minutes. We spend that time really getting to know you, LISTENING to you, taking a detailed history and exploring how your symptoms are impacting your life.

Many of our patients say they feel better just because they've been properly listened to.

If you think speaking to us would help, please do get in touch and book an appointment, there’s a link in our bio!

Did you know… sleep and mood changes often show up before hot flushes during the menopause transition?

It’s not always about night sweats and temperature surges. Many women experience brain fog, insomnia or feeling flat long before classic symptoms appear.

😔 If your mood has shifted in midlife and you can’t put your finger on why - you’re not alone.

💥 Research presented at the 2025 BMS conference reinforces a “window of vulnerability” during perimenopause for mood dips and depression - even if you’ve never had mental health issues before.

🧠💤 This new research reinforces that if your sleep and mood are off, now might be the time to consider HRT - not later.

📈 Symptoms like sleep disruption, brain fog, and anxiety may actually precede hot flushes.

What is the Menopause? 🤔

We know it can be confusing and overwhelming understanding what it all means, so let's start with the basics...

🌸 Menopause = when your ovaries have stopped producing eggs and your periods have stopped. Average age in UK is 51 although can occur earlier.

🌸 Perimenopause = the bridge between the reproductive years and menopause, when oestrogen levels start to fluctuate and dwindle. Typically 2-3 years before last period but can be longer. This is when symptoms start to appear and intensify.

🌸 POI (Premature Ovarian Insufficiency) = when ovaries stop functioning normally below the age of 40. Periods can either become very infrequent and unpredictable or stop completely.

🌸 Early Menopause = when periods stop below the age of 45. Can occur naturally, or abruptly due to surgery or treatments such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy.

🌸 Post menopause = the years after your periods have stopped - hormones steadily at low levels.

A wide range of symptoms can be experienced during this whole period and physical and mental wellbeing can be severely affected. But there is a lot that can be done to control symptoms and to reduce future health risks. Obtain as much evidence-based information as you can and please ask for help if you need it.

Knowing when you are on the menopausal journey can be difficult. It can be insidious and creep up on you. 🤔

Some women (about 1%) have a menopause before the age of 40, ie their periods stop. It is really important that these women come forward for help, because having a very early menopause can mean problems later in life.

After the age of 40, it is not uncommon to be in transition.

After the age of 45 there is no point in doing any blood tests to diagnose peri menopause, we know that these women are in their transition and will benefit from help.

However, increasingly, younger women who are in their 30s and still have normal periods, feel tired, exhausted and emotional, and these symptoms could be thought to be menopausal in nature. Some of these might be peri menopausal, but there are other causes too.

The Premenstrual Syndrome or PMDD can create a confusing picture. Stressful lives can cause anxiety and depression. Other unbalanced hormones can also cause confusion.

We need to look at each woman individually, analyse her symptoms and try and work out what is going on. Even if we decide that the symptoms are not menopausal, we can give guidance to try and help.

Individual history taking, careful consideration of the problem = informed choices. 💡

✨ May 2025 Menopause Forum ✨

Last night's forum was lead by Dr Beth, discussing Sustainable Health Care.

Part of GMC good medical practice is for doctors to practice in an environmentally sustainable way. This includes:

👉 Prevention of ill health
👉 Patient empowerment
👉 Lean pathways / service delivery
👉 Low carbon alternatives

Key discussion points:

🔹 How climate change has a.direct impact on human health - e.g. the spread of mosquito borne viruses; Dengue fever (now endemic through France.)

🔹 The NHS accounts for 4% of UK emissions - how to achieve the NHS net zero target.

🔹 Empowering people to live healthier lives (walk more , eat better) so they don't require prescribed medications.

🔹 The big HRT pharma companies sustainability credentials and what they are doing to make production of HRT products in a more environmentally friendly way.

Thank you to all that attended and thank you Dr Beth for leading a fantastic Forum.

✨ Our next Menopause Forum will be on Thursday 24th July and will include 'Hot off the Press' updates from this year's BMS conference! ✨

Are you a GP or GP practice looking for some educational support and discussion relating to the menopause? Please drop us a line for more info about joining our online menopause forum. We would love to hear from you.

New guidance from the British Menopause Society for anyone on HRT and using weight loss injections (like GLP-1 receptor agonists: Ozempic, Mounjaro, etc.)

📌 If you're taking oral estrogen, switch to transdermal estrogen (patch or gel).
Incretin therapies can affect gut absorption and reduce how much estrogen your body actually gets.

💊 And your progesterone?
If you still have your womb, protecting the lining is crucial. The BMS recommends:

- Ideally use transdermal progesterone or a progesterone-releasing IUS (coil)
- If using oral progesterone, consider doubling the dose for the first 4 weeks and again at any dose increase of your weight loss injection

🩸 What if you're bleeding on HRT while using weight loss meds?
Don't ignore it — get reviewed. The changes in absorption or hormone levels might unmask underlying issues, and further investigations may be needed to rule out other causes.

⚖️ Why does this matter?
Around 60–70% of women aged 45–64 are overweight or obese, and women gain on average 4–6 kg during the menopause transition — often around the abdomen. This is not just cosmetic: it's linked to increased cardiovascular and metabolic risk.

💬 Talk to your healthcare professional before making any changes to your HRT plan.
