Frequently asked questions
Do I need a blood test to diagnose menopause?
Usually not. In women over 45, menopause is diagnosed from symptoms and cycle changes. Blood tests are mainly used for younger women or to guide treatment, and can be arranged.
Can I be prescribed HRT at the appointment?
Yes, where it is clinically appropriate. The consultation reviews the benefits and risks for you, and a prescription and plan can be issued at the visit.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can book a menopause assessment directly, and we will keep your GP informed with your consent.
What should I bring?
A list of your symptoms, your current medications, and any relevant medical or family history. This helps make the most of the appointment.
When will I get my plan?
A written summary and management plan are issued within 24 hours, and your options are discussed fully with you during the consultation.
