Understanding Menopause

Menopause marks the end of your menstrual cycle, typically between the ages of 45 and 55. But for many, symptoms can begin earlier — during the perimenopausal stage — and affect both body and mind.

Common symptoms include:

  • Hot flushes and night sweats
  • Low mood, anxiety or mood swings
  • Fatigue and difficulty sleeping
  • Brain fog and reduced concentration
  • Vaginal dryness or discomfort
  • Weight fluctuations
  • Low libido
  • Skin and hair changes

Each woman’s experience is unique, and at SRGN Clinic, we treat it that way.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

Your initial consultation includes:

  • A full medical history and symptom discussion
  • Assessment of lifestyle, mood, and hormone-related concerns
  • Recommendations for treatment, including HRT referrals if appropriate
  • Practical advice on managing symptoms through diet, sleep, and stress management

We provide a discreet, judgement-free environment where you can speak openly with a GP who understands the complexities of menopause — both physical and emotional.

FAQs

  • How can I control menopause without HRT?

    Many women manage menopause without hormone replacement therapy (HRT) by making lifestyle changes such as improving diet, reducing stress, increasing exercise, and improving sleep. Non-hormonal medications and supplements may also help with symptoms like hot flushes or low mood. At SRGN Clinic, we offer personalised guidance on natural and medical options to support you.

  • What are the 5 stages of menopause?

    Menopause is often described in five key phases:Premenopause – when hormone levels are normal, and symptoms haven’t started.Early Perimenopause – cycles may become irregular, with early symptoms like mood changes.Late Perimenopause – more pronounced symptoms and skipped periods.Menopause – officially diagnosed after 12 months without a period.Postmenopause – the years following menopause, when symptoms may continue but gradually ease.

  • What is the best treatment for menopause?

    The best treatment depends on your symptoms, health history, and preferences. HRT is often effective for relieving hot flushes, mood changes, and sleep disruption. However, non-hormonal approaches, such as lifestyle changes, supplements, and cognitive behavioural therapy, may also help. At SRGN Clinic, our GP provides tailored advice based on your needs.

  • How can I control my menopause?

    Menopause can be managed through a combination of medical support, lifestyle adjustments, and emotional wellbeing strategies. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, reduced alcohol intake, stress management, and quality sleep all play a role. Consulting a menopause-trained GP, like those at SRGN Clinic, can help create a plan that works for you.

  • Can menopause be treated naturally?

    Yes — some women manage symptoms naturally through lifestyle changes, herbal supplements, or therapies such as acupuncture or yoga. While results vary, natural approaches may help with mood, sleep, and mild symptoms. At SRGN Clinic, we can advise on safe, evidence-based natural options and when to consider medical support.

  • How long does menopause usually last?

    Menopausal symptoms can last anywhere from 4 to 10 years, though the average is around 7 years. Symptoms often begin during perimenopause and gradually ease in the postmenopausal years. The duration and intensity vary from woman to woman.

  • At what stage is menopause the worst?

    Many women find late perimenopause the most challenging, as hormone levels fluctuate more dramatically. This stage often brings the most noticeable symptoms — including hot flushes, night sweats, mood changes, and disrupted sleep — just before periods stop completely.

  • What is the best supplement for menopause?

    Popular supplements include vitamin D, magnesium, B vitamins, omega-3, and black cohosh. Some women also find support from phytoestrogens (plant oestrogens) such as red clover or soy isoflavones. While supplements may help, it’s best to consult a GP before starting any new regime, especially if you have health conditions or take medications.

  • What are the 7 stages of perimenopause?

    Though not formally defined in seven stages, some experts break perimenopause into a progression like:Cycle changes beginMood and sleep disturbancesHot flushes and hormonal shiftsIrregular or missed periodsIntensifying symptomsFinal periodTransition into menopauseYour experience may not follow these exactly, but understanding the stages can help you recognise what’s happening and seek timely support.
