Menopause Clinic in Leicester

THE MENOPAUSE CLINIC AT THE HEALTH SUITE- A DOCTOR-LED SERVICE.

At The Health Suite Leicester, we understand the unique challenges of menopause. With women now spending about a third of their lives in menopause, it is important to receive personalised care that addresses both the physical and emotional aspects of this life stage.

Our menopause clinic in Leicester offers a doctor-led, bespoke service. You will have a 40-minute consultation with the Doctor to discuss your symptoms in depth. This allows ample time for you to explore all available options, including hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and receive a complimentary body composition scan to assess your overall health.

We prioritise your well-being by ensuring you have the time and support you need to make informed decisions about your menopause management.

At the menopause clinic in The Health Suite Leicester, we believe every woman deserves the time to explore her symptoms and discuss available options.

Due to longer life expectancies, women are now spending approximately a third of their lifespan menopausal, and so managing menopause is becoming an increasing part of women’s health. However, due to time constraints in the NHS and sometimes, a lack of knowledge around the subject, many menopausal women are denied hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or can be prescribed less effective alternatives.

We acknowledge that a 7-10 minute NHS GP appointment is not enough to thoroughly discuss the many symptoms you may be experiencing due to menopause. At The Health Suite Leicester, we believe every woman deserves the time to explore her symptoms and discuss all available options.


About Menopause

Menopause is a normal event in every woman’s lifetime – it is not an illness or a disease. It occurs when the ovaries stop producing eggs, causing the hormones oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone levels to fall. In contrast, peri-menopause is the term used to describe the time when you may be experiencing menopausal symptoms but still have periods, even if these periods are lighter and less frequent.

During this time, the hormones oestrogen and progesterone fluctuate greatly leading to the symptoms of menopause that many women suffer. Low mood, heightened anxiety, mood swings, tearfulness and loss of confidence are common symptoms many peri-menopausal women report.

How the Menopause clinic works

We understand that as women we are not all the same. Our menopause diagnosis relies on listening to your symptoms and offering a treatment option specifically for you.

Here at The Health Suite Leicester, body-identical Hormone replacement therapy (HRT)– hormones that are taken from soya beans and yams are prescribed as recommended by the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE), which are identical in structure to the natural hormones produced in the body. These hormones are licensed, regulated, and available from your GP on the NHS. You will be prescribed Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) during your first appointment if this is the right treatment for you.

Body-identical HRT can sometimes be confused with bio-identical HRT, which is offered at many private clinics. Bio-identical HRT (or BHRT) is not regulated or licensed and is, therefore, not recommended by the British Menopause Society.

Menopause and Female Hormone Risk Assessment

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) can provide relief from menopause symptoms, but it’s important to understand the potential risks before starting. At The Health Suite Leicester, we offer detailed hormone risk assessments using advanced testing to help women make informed decisions about HRT, whether they are just considering it or already using it.


Understanding the Risks
Every woman’s hormonal balance is unique, and factors like family history, genetics, and lifestyle can influence how your body responds to HRT. That’s why we take a personalized approach to assess your risk before starting treatment. By analysing your hormone levels and metabolism, we can reduce potential risks, such as the likelihood of developing breast cancer or other hormone-related issues.

A menopause clinic is a specialized healthcare facility focused on diagnosing, managing, and treating the symptoms and health concerns related to menopause, such as hot flashes, mood changes, bone health, and hormonal imbalances.

Menopause clinics provide a variety of services including hormone replacement therapy (HRT), counseling on lifestyle changes, management of symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats, bone health assessments, and cardiovascular risk evaluations.

You should consider visiting a menopause clinic if you are experiencing bothersome symptoms related to menopause, such as irregular periods, hot flashes, mood swings, or vaginal dryness, or if you're in perimenopause and seeking guidance on managing the transition.

Common tests include blood tests to check hormone levels (like estrogen and FSH), bone density scans (DEXA) to assess osteoporosis risk, and cholesterol and glucose tests to monitor cardiovascular health during menopause.

HRT is a treatment that replenishes declining hormone levels, typically estrogen and progesterone, to relieve menopause symptoms. Menopause clinics offer HRT in various forms, including pills, patches, creams, and implants.

HRT is generally safe for most women, but its benefits and risks vary depending on individual health factors such as age, medical history, and risk for conditions like heart disease or breast cancer. A menopause clinic can provide personalized advice based on these factors.

Non-hormonal treatments include lifestyle modifications (diet, exercise), herbal supplements, medications like SSRIs for hot flashes, and vaginal moisturizers or lubricants for dryness. Menopause clinics can tailor these options to your specific needs.

Menopause leads to a decline in estrogen, which affects bone density and increases the risk of osteoporosis. A menopause clinic can monitor bone health through DEXA scans and offer treatments like calcium supplements, vitamin D, and medications to prevent bone loss.

Yes, many menopause clinics address mental health issues like anxiety, depression, and mood swings that can occur during menopause. They offer counseling, support, and in some cases, medications to help manage these symptoms.

Referral requirements vary depending on the clinic and healthcare system. Some menopause clinics accept self-referrals, while others may require a referral from your primary care provider or gynecologist. It’s best to check with the specific clinic beforehand.
