Menopause Clinic in Leicester

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 private menopause clinic in Leicester is led by a specialist doctor with the British Menopause Society (BMS) Certificate in Menopause Care, offering expert, personalised, and evidence-based solutions for every stage of menopause. You will have a 40-minute menopause 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 managing your menopause.

At the menopause clinic in The Health Suite Leicester, we believe every woman deserves the time to explore her symptoms and discuss available menopause treatment 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 at The Health Suite Leicester 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. As a BMS-accredited specialist, your doctor combines clinical expertise with compassionate care, helping you navigate the physical, emotional, and hormonal changes of menopause.

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 for 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 personalised 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.
