Menopause Specialist Advise

Expert Support for Managing Your Menopause Symptoms

If you’re searching for menopause specialist advise, you’re likely feeling overwhelmed by symptoms, uncertain about treatment options, or simply in need of clear, trustworthy guidance. You’re not alone. Many women reach out to us after trying to navigate menopause on their own — often feeling unheard or unsure whether what they’re experiencing is normal.

As menopause specialists working with women across Surrey, we understand the wide variation in how menopause presents and the importance of tailoring care to each individual. We will look at what kind of advice a menopause specialist can offer, when to seek support, and how expert input can make a significant difference to your wellbeing.

Why Seek Specialist Advice for Menopause?

While menopause is a natural process, that doesn’t mean you need to go through it without support. Symptoms can last several years and affect not just physical health, but also mood, energy, relationships, and confidence.

Many women we work with say they felt dismissed when first seeking help — told to “wait it out” or “come back when symptoms get worse.” That’s not how it should be.

A menopause specialist can help you:

• Understand what’s happening to your body

• Confirm whether you're in perimenopause, menopause, or postmenopause

• Explore safe, evidence-based treatment options

• Manage both physical and emotional symptoms

• Plan for your long-term health after menopause

Even if your symptoms are mild or unclear, professional guidance can bring clarity and reassurance.

What Does a Menopause Specialist Help With?

We offer support across a wide range of symptoms and concerns. These are some of the most common issues women discuss with us:

Hormone-Related Symptoms

• Hot flushes and night sweats

• Irregular periods during perimenopause

• Vaginal dryness or discomfort

• Breast tenderness

• Joint pain or muscle stiffness

Emotional and Cognitive Symptoms

• Low mood, irritability, or emotional sensitivity

• Anxiety and feelings of overwhelm

• Poor concentration or memory (“brain fog”)

• Loss of motivation or confidence

Sleep and Fatigue

• Trouble falling or staying asleep

• Waking early and not feeling rested

• Daytime fatigue, regardless of sleep duration

Physical Changes

• Unexplained weight gain

• Changes in skin, hair, or nails

• Reduced muscle tone or slower metabolism

If any of this sounds familiar, it’s worth speaking to a menopause specialist who can help identify patterns and offer targeted solutions.

The NHS menopause guide provides a helpful overview of symptoms and diagnosis.

What Type of Advice Might You Receive?

When we meet with women for a consultation, we tailor advice based on their stage, symptoms, and personal preferences.

Here are some of the key areas we typically explore:

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

HRT is the most effective treatment for many menopause symptoms. We’ll help you understand:

• Whether it’s right for you

• The types available (patches, gels, tablets, sprays)

• How to balance oestrogen and progesterone

• What monitoring or adjustments may be needed

Our advice is grounded in current clinical evidence and guided by NICE menopause guidelines.

Alternatives to HRT

Not all women can or want to use hormones. We also support women with:

• Vaginal oestrogen for localised symptoms

• Non-hormonal medications to manage flushes or mood

• CBT for anxiety or disrupted sleep

• Lifestyle and nutrition strategies to ease symptoms

• Supplement advice where appropriate

Our aim is always to offer a full range of safe, proven options — without pressure.

Long-Term Health Considerations

Oestrogen decline affects more than your cycle. We’ll also advise on protecting your:

• Bone health – through nutrition, weight-bearing exercise, and supplementation

• Heart health – including cholesterol and blood pressure monitoring

• Metabolism – supporting muscle mass and managing midlife weight gain

We often review recent blood test results and suggest further screening if needed. You can read more via the NHS support page on menopause.

When Should You Speak to a Menopause Specialist?

You don’t need to wait for symptoms to become disruptive. We recommend seeking support if:

• You’re unsure whether your symptoms are menopause-related

• You’ve had a change in mood, sleep, or cycle that doesn’t feel normal

• You want to explore HRT or switch to a different treatment plan

• You feel dismissed elsewhere and want personalised support

• You’re in your 40s or early 50s and want to prepare for the transition

Early advice can make a big difference. Some symptoms — especially mood or bone changes — respond better to proactive management.

How We Work at Surrey Menopause Clinic

We provide tailored, expert menopause care from our clinic in Kingston, supporting women across Guildford, Epsom, Weybridge, and surrounding areas. While our location is fixed, we regularly support women from across Surrey who are looking for:

• A full understanding of their symptoms

• A collaborative, respectful approach to treatment

• A personalised care plan, not a one-size-fits-all answer

During your consultation, we’ll review symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, and goals. We’ll then build a plan that works for you — whether that includes HRT, non-hormonal treatment, or supportive strategies.

If you’re ready to take the next step, you can contact us here to arrange your consultation.
