I’m a doctor myself and I cannot praise highly enough the empathy and knowledge of the menopause hub. I had gone to my own GP practice (who are generally excellent) at different times in the past year with symptoms of menopause (mood swings, weight gain, insomnia) and neither of the doctors I saw were keen to treat these as menopause symptoms, despite my enquiries. I didn’t have hot flushes and I feel that my other symptoms were not regarded as significant enough to be menopausal because of that. An antidepressant was suggested by one. I had bloods done which showed normal hormone levels but I know now that at my age, the levels fluctuate hugely from day to day, and inside this is part of the cause of the symptoms. At the menopause hub, the doctor was sure that these symptoms were those of menopause and the I would benefit from HRT. She was extremely knowledgeable about the different products and could answer all my questions about the pros and cons, how long should I take it, etc. I felt the benefit of the HRT within weeks, with improved sleep, improved mood, improved clarity of thought which has really improved work and home life. The benefits have exceeded all my expectations. The menopause hub has huge expertise in this area of medicine and I am so glad I decided to make an appointment.
