Our doctors will talk through your whole medical history, and be able to provide a clear answer to whether your symptoms could be hormonal or are caused by another condition. Our doctors are experts in assessing whether the root cause could be perimenopause or menopause. Obtaining a clear diagnosis will depend on your exact medical circumstances and the root cause of your specific symptoms. If the cause is not hormonal, your doctor will recommend further investigations to put you on a clear path to diagnosis.

No, in general blood tests are not required in before an appointment. Perimenopause and menopause are usually defined by your symptoms, and medical history rather than by a specific test. If you do need a specific test, your doctor will advise that in the consultation.

This help-a-friend offer is for the initial 45-minute doctor consultation and is available to new patients without pre-booked appointments. It does not apply to follow-up appointments, specialist clinics or other services.
