Menopause is a natural phase of life, but it can bring physical and emotional changes that affect your wellbeing. At Colton Mill and The Grange Medical Centre, we’re here to support you every step of the way with expert advice, treatment options, and the opportunities to connect with healthcare professionals and others going through similar experiences.
Symptoms of the menopause can vary between individuals and no two women will have the same experience. Common symptoms include hot flushes, night sweats, skin changes, mood changes and sleep disturbance. It is also very common to experience vaginal dryness, difficulties with sex and bladder symptoms. It is important to note that symptoms of the menopause can start before your periods stop.
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) & Medication Reviews
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is used for lots of women to manage symptoms of the menopause, or perimenopause (the time around the menopause itself). There are benefits and risks with HRT, and several different ways of providing HRT to the body.
If you’re considering HRT or are already using it, we offer:
- HRT reviews to ensure your treatment is safe and effective
- Regular check-ins to monitor symptoms and side effects
Book a medication review via our online booking system or speak to our reception team.
