Private Menopause Clinic in London

A private menopause consultation at our London clinic is designed to give your doctor the time and structure needed to assess your symptoms properly, something that is rarely possible in a standard NHS appointment.

Your doctor will take a detailed history of your symptoms, including when they started, how they are changing over time and the degree to which they are affecting your daily life, relationships and work. Your medical history, family history, current medications and any previous experience of hormonal treatment are all covered as part of a thorough clinical assessment.

Where blood tests are appropriate, for example to assess hormone levels in younger women or to clarify an uncertain picture, these can be arranged at the same appointment at our London clinic.

Your doctor will then clearly explain your treatment options. We discuss HRT preparations, non-hormonal alternatives, and lifestyle measures before making a recommendation based on your individual circumstances. If HRT is appropriate, we issue a prescription at the same appointment.

A follow-up appointment can be arranged to review your response to treatment and adjust dosing or preparation where needed. All London consultations are completely confidential and without judgement.

Perimenopause is the transition period before menopause, during which hormone levels begin to fluctuate, and symptoms can begin, often several years before periods stop. It is one of the most commonly misdiagnosed and undertreated conditions in women, particularly in busy urban environments where symptoms are easily attributed to work pressure, stress or lifestyle.

Many women across London experience perimenopause symptoms for a significant time before the hormonal cause is recognised. The most common include hot flushes, night sweats, mood changes, anxiety, poor sleep, brain fog, fatigue, reduced libido, vaginal dryness and joint pain. Less commonly recognised symptoms include palpitations, skin changes, hair thinning and urinary urgency.

A private perimenopause consultation in London gives your doctor time to take a full clinical history, assess your symptoms in context, and recommend appropriate treatment. You do not need to have stopped periods to seek help, and treatment can begin during perimenopause where symptoms are affecting quality of life.

For women who have been told their symptoms are due to anxiety or stress and are not sure whether perimenopause may be the cause, a private consultation is the most efficient way to find out and begin addressing the problem.
