FOR Women
Menopause is a natural life stage, but it can bring challenges. At Edinburgh GP, we take a holistic approach — looking at your symptoms, lifestyle, medical history, and personal goals.
- You may be considering HRT for the first time;
- You may already be on treatment but want to explore different options both medical and lifestyle related;
- You may have questions about symptoms such as weight gain, mood changes, or sleep disturbances;
- You may have specific concerns associated with post menopause including potential increases in illness risks or bone density.
- You may want advice on screening including cancer screening for cancers for which risk of contraction can increase post menopause.
We also see women exploring weight management options, including injections, to address menopause-related changes. Whatever your needs, we’ll work with you to create a plan that feels right for you.
It is important to rule out other health related issues from the symptoms you are experiencing, if any, and we can support you in that process through both our consultation and tailored blood testing.
What to bookGP Consultation – 45 minutes
We recommend 45 minutes but depending on complexity of your history and symptoms and whether you are an existing patient, 30 minutes may be suitable.
