Well Woman Check:
By having this comprehensive health check, you will gain a detailed picture of your present state of health, and by making the suggested changes in your lifestyle you can be proactive in promoting good health.
Menopause
Changes in hormones can affect women as early as 30 years-old. We offer Menopause and peri-menopause clinics ( with or without hormone replacement therapy prescribing).
Menopause symptoms can vary in type and severity with sweats, ‘hot flushes’, psychological issues, sexual problems, insomnia, joint pains or even recurrent cystitis and thrush. We ask ladies please don’t suffer on. Our doctors keep up-to-date with the array of treatments available.
A menopause consult will include full history, assessment of symptoms, physical examination, blood tests and treatment options right for you. We take a holistic view and consider your full health, so if a DEXA bone scan was recommended we can book this for you too.
