Menopause is a natural transition, not a disease. Understanding what's happening in your body is the first step to taking control.
Perimenopause is the transition phase leading to menopause, typically lasting between 4 and 10 years. During this time, your ovaries gradually produce less oestrogen and progesterone, causing fluctuating hormone levels. Your menstrual cycle becomes irregular — periods may become heavier, lighter, closer together, or further apart — until eventually they stop altogether.
Perimenopause can begin in your 30s or 40s, though it most commonly occurs in your mid-40s. Many women don't realise they are in perimenopause because the symptoms are attributed to stress, aging, or other causes.
Menopause is defined as 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period. This marks the end of your reproductive years. The average age of menopause is 51 in the UK, though it can occur earlier or later. Menopause is a natural biological process, not a medical condition that needs to be "treated" — but the symptoms associated with it often benefit from support.
Postmenopause refers to the years after your final menstrual period. You are postmenopausal for the rest of your life. Whilst hot flushes and night sweats typically resolve within a few years, other health considerations become important, including bone health, cardiovascular health, and weight management.

A structured, evidence-based approach to your menopause journey
We take a comprehensive hormone panel measuring FSH, LH, oestradiol, progesterone, testosterone, and thyroid function. This confirms your menopausal status and guides treatment.
Our experienced GPs discuss your symptoms, medical history, family history, and lifestyle. We explore your concerns and explain all available treatment options in detail.
If HRT is appropriate, we prescribe a tailored treatment plan based on your needs. You choose the delivery method: tablets, patches, gels, or other options.
We schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your response, manage any side effects, and adjust your treatment as needed for optimal symptom relief.
