Perimenopause Management
Like so many of us, we have heard about the ‘change of life’ and been told it is something you just have to deal with!
For many years, the subject has been taboo, and the only information you received was from watching your mother or Grandmother go through the ‘change’!
Thankfully, the discussion and management of menopause is coming to the forefront. Instead of being told to go away and come back in 12 months if you still have symptoms, we are now able to address the many symptoms, both physical and mental.
Perimenopause, Menopause and Post Menopause are all far more than ‘hot flushes’ Remember, it’s never too late to start managing menopause, regardless of which stage you are currently in.
During this transitional phase which can start at any age, however, commonly it begins in your late 30’s to early 40’s. There will be subtle changes, which include mood changes, increased anxiety, period changes and bloating. Often, you know how you feel, just isn’t you, but you can’t put your finger on what makes you think this way.
Initial consultation
During your consultation, the Elite Nurse Practitioner will actively listen to you, discuss your concerns & develop a customised plan, which may include comprehensive hormone testing to guide precise and effective treatments. By the end of the consultation you will have a clear roadmap to begin your journey to navigating menopause and feeling like yourself!
Review appointment
Engaging in review appointments is essential in navigating your menopause journey, as it allows our Elite Nurse Practitioners to listen to you and evaluate the treatment prescribed, compare results from the comprehensive testing and adjust your prescription as required.
