Thoughtful, specialist support through perimenopause and menopause

Menopause Care provides specialist hormone and menopause care for women living in Leicester, Market Harborough, Medbourne, Oadby and Loughborough. Our clinicians support women who are noticing changes in their bodies, emotions or energy levels and who want clear, compassionate guidance from specialists in womens hormonal health.

Whether symptoms are new, fluctuating or have been affecting daily life for some time, our aim is to help you understand what is happening and feel supported in deciding what comes next.

Menopause is a transition, not a single moment

Perimenopause and menopause are often described as a single event, but in reality they are gradual transitions that can unfold over several years. Hormonal changes can affect sleep, mood, memory, confidence, physical comfort and overall wellbeing. Symptoms may come and go, overlap with other health concerns, or feel difficult to describe.

Many women tell us they feel unsure whether what they are experiencing is hormonal, stress related, or something else entirely. Menopause care is about creating space to explore these questions properly, without rushing or minimising concerns.

At Menopause Care, we see menopause as a whole body transition that deserves time, explanation and careful clinical attention.

Accessing menopause care in Leicester and the East Midlands

Women living in Leicester, Market Harborough, Medbourne, Oadby and Loughborough can access specialist menopause care through secure online consultations.

This approach allows you to speak with a menopause specialist from your home or workplace, without the need for travel or waiting rooms. Many women find this makes it easier to talk openly about sensitive symptoms and to fit appointments around work, family and daily responsibilities.

What menopause care looks like in practice

Menopause care is not just about prescribing treatment. It is about understanding patterns, changes and priorities over time.

During your consultation, your clinician may explore:

• Physical symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, joint pain, headaches or fatigue
• Emotional changes including anxiety, low mood, irritability or loss of confidence
• Cognitive symptoms such as brain fog or difficulty concentrating
• Changes in menstrual cycle or bleeding patterns
• Sleep quality and energy levels
• Medical and family health history
• Lifestyle factors including stress, work demands and routines
• Treatments or supplements you may already be using

This detailed understanding allows your clinician to offer guidance that reflects your symptoms, health background and personal preferences.

Treatment options available

Treatment plans are always tailored and may evolve over time. Depending on your needs, menopause care may include:

• Hormone replacement therapy using regulated, body identical hormones
• Testosterone therapy when clinically appropriate
• Non hormonal medications
• Nutritional and lifestyle guidance
• CBT or hypnosis to support sleep, mood and emotional wellbeing
• Strategies to support long term health, resilience and quality of life

Where helpful, blood tests can be arranged either locally or through home testing kits. All recommendations are discussed clearly so you feel informed and comfortable with your choices.

HRT guidance and review in Leicester

Some women seek menopause care because they are already using HRT but feel unsure whether it is working as well as it could. Others are considering HRT and want clear, balanced information before deciding.

Our clinicians take time to explain:

• Different types and delivery methods of HRT
• How dose and formulation can affect symptoms
• Safety considerations and current evidence
• When testosterone or non hormonal options may be appropriate

Adjustments are made thoughtfully and with explanation, so changes feel reassuring rather than confusing.

Support at every stage

Women seek menopause care at different points. Some want early reassurance, others want help with symptoms that have been building for years.

We support women experiencing:

• PMS and cyclical hormone symptoms
• Perimenopause
• Menopause and post menopause
• Surgical menopause
• Premature ovarian insufficiency
• PCOS
• Contraceptive needs during hormonal transition

There is no right or wrong time to seek support.

After your consultation

After your appointment, you will receive a detailed clinic letter summarising your discussion, assessment and treatment plan. This can be kept for your records or shared with your GP.

Many women choose follow up appointments to review progress, adjust treatment and feel supported over time as their needs change.

Do I need a referral

No referral is required. You can book directly with Menopause Care.

If you have previous medical letters, blood test results or clinic notes, you are welcome to share them ahead of your appointment.
