Support through perimenopause and menopause
Menopause is a natural stage of life, but its symptoms can affect sleep, mood, work and relationships — and they often begin during perimenopause, years before periods stop. You do not have to simply put up with it. A GP who takes the time to listen can help you understand what is happening and work with you on a plan that fits your health and your goals.
Symptoms a GP can help with
- Irregular, heavier or lighter periods
- Hot flushes and night sweats
- Disrupted sleep and fatigue
- Mood changes, anxiety or low mood
- Brain fog and difficulty concentrating
- Joint aches, vaginal dryness and changes in libido
Women’s health doctors at Metta Medical
Dr Lucinda Townsley brings more than 25 years of experience in women’s and family health, and Dr Anu Soul provides a broad range of women’s health care. Either doctor can review your symptoms, discuss what to expect, and help you weigh up your options. If you would like time to talk things through, a longer appointment can be arranged when you book.
How management works
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to menopause. After understanding your symptoms and health history, your GP will talk through the options that suit you — which may include lifestyle measures, non-hormonal approaches and, where appropriate, hormonal therapy. Your doctor will explain the benefits and risks of each so you can decide together. Any prescription treatment is provided only after an individual assessment.
