When it's relevant

Twelve months have passed since your last period, or symptoms such as hot flushes, poor sleep, vaginal dryness or joint aches are affecting daily life.

Why it's worth a visit

Menopause is also a turning point for bone and heart health. And symptoms that are worth treating are often simply put up with.

How your GP can help

Your GP reviews your symptoms and health history, discusses whether menopausal hormone therapy or other treatment may be appropriate, and looks at bone and heart health at the same time.

Your questions answered

A few of the things people often wonder about before booking. If there's something else on your mind, just ask, we're always happy to talk it through.

Is hormone therapy safe?

For many people the benefits outweigh the risks, but it depends on your age, health and history. Your GP will go through this with you individually.

How long do symptoms last?

It varies widely. Several years is common, and for some people longer.

I have bleeding after menopause. Is that normal?

No. Any bleeding after menopause should be checked. Please book promptly.
