Don’t let menopause hinder you – get evidence-based support and personalised treatment from the experts at Norfolk Menopause
Hot flushes, brain fog, anxiety, night sweats, loss of confidence, depression and low libido — just some of the symptoms that can arise in perimenopause and menopause.
Menopause has been a hot topic in recent years, but there are still misconceptions. Many believe symptoms only begin once periods have stopped and only affects women in their 50s.
In fact, menopause is simply the point in time 12 months after a woman has her last period. It is the perimenopause – the time of hormonal fluctuation before menstruation stops – that is often most troublesome. This stage can last for up to a decade and can begin in a woman’s late thirties or early forties.
We have oestrogen receptors all over our bodies, many in the brain. This is why the hormonal flux in perimenopause can cause myriad symptoms, physical and psychological. Although some women breeze through perimenopause, for others it can have an enormous impact on their lives. Sadly, it’s often when relationships breakdown and careers suffer.
But these symptoms don’t have to disrupt your life. Norfolk Menopause offers in-person and virtual consultations to help you find the right treatment and feel yourself again.
Norfolk Menopause is a team of five highly respected menopause doctors — three GPs and two specialist gynaecologists. Each works in the NHS and also offers private consultations in Norwich or via video call. Appointments in a relaxed setting allow ample time to get a full picture of your individual needs. The team works collaboratively to find the best solution, however complex.
HRT is one such solution. It’s very safe for the vast majority of women and comes with proven long-term health benefits. Tailored management of HRT is imperative to maximise benefits and minimise any small risks.
At Norfolk Menopause, we provide safe evidence-based care. The key to symptom control is to make hormone treatment truly bespoke, getting the balance just right. Treatment that works for one person may be entirely inappropriate for someone else.
In some women, looking at testosterone levels may be the missing piece of the puzzle. That’s why we offer hormone testing to establish exactly where your levels are. We also carry out a comprehensive assessment of your overall health, including lifestyle and nutrition. And the Norfolk Menopause team is trained to deliver CBT, a powerful therapy that can be useful in helping navigate hormonal health.
Norfolk Menopause aims to help women of all ages, so contact the team today and take the first step to hormonal health and wellbeing.
