Menopause Health Assessment and Support Programme
Our Menopause Health Assessment is designed to offer a comprehensive overview of your menopausal transition, ensuring you receive the support needed to navigate this phase of life with confidence. This thorough assessment includes an in-depth evaluation of your health history, hormonal changes, and lifestyle factors that may affect your experience during perimenopause, menopause, or post-menopause.
What is Menopause?
Menopause is a natural phase of life, typically occurring in women aged 45 to 55. Perimenopause, the transitional phase leading up to menopause, lasts approximately 10-12 years and can start as early as your mid-30s. Every woman’s experience is unique, and while certain symptoms may be mild for some, others may face more significant challenges. Understanding the changes your body is going through and receiving the right support can make a world of difference.
Common symptoms can include:
- Irregular periods or changes in menstrual cycle length
- Hot flushes or night sweats
- Mood swings, irritability, or anxiety
- Sleep disturbances
- Weight gain or difficulty maintaining weight
- Low libido or changes in sexual health
- Vaginal dryness
- Fatigue or low energy levels
- Hormonal Health We recommend assessing your hormonal balance, focusing on key hormones like oestrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, along with thyroid function. These hormones are crucial in regulating your menstrual cycle, mood, and overall health during the menopausal transition.
- Lifestyle and Environmental Factors Your daily habits can significantly impact your menopause experience. We evaluate factors such as diet, physical activity, stress levels, and environmental exposures (e.g., toxins and chemicals). We also explore supplementation, recommending vitamins and supplements tailored to support your hormonal balance and overall health.
- Emotional and Mental Well-being The emotional toll of perimenopause and menopause can be overwhelming. We offer mental health support to help manage stress, anxiety, or feelings of loss during this transitional period. This aspect of care is essential for maintaining emotional resilience and overall well-being.
