The average age of menopause in the UK is 51. However, for some women symptoms can start much earlier than this. Common symptoms include hot flushes and night sweats, although many women also experience problems with sleep and concentration, changes in their bladder function and sexual difficulties due to a lack of libido or vaginal dryness.

​

Symptoms associated with the menopause can have a significant impact on your life but we are here to help you manage this. We are able to prescribe Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), including testosterone for libido, and will take into account your individual symptoms and your personal and family history to assess for risk factors.

​
