Embracing Menopause: Prioritizing Your Health and Wellbeing
It's no secret that women often put themselves last. A recent survey found that 78% of women delay making a doctor's appointment for themselves because they're too busy taking care of everyone else. This tendency to prioritize others over their own health can be particularly challenging during significant life stages like peri and menopause.
Menopause is a natural stage of life that every woman experiences, yet it often comes with a range of symptoms that can affect physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing. From hot flashes and night sweats to mood swings and sleep disturbances, the symptoms of peri and menopause can be overwhelming. Despite these challenges, many women continue to put their own needs on the back burner, focusing instead on their families, careers, and other responsibilities.
At QMC, we believe it's time for a change. Our new Menopause Clinic is designed to support women through this important stage of life, offering a holistic approach to health and wellbeing. We understand that menopause is not just a medical condition but a natural transition that deserves compassionate and comprehensive care.
Introducing Our Menopause Clinic
Our Menopause Clinic is here to help you navigate the journey of peri and menopause with confidence and ease. We offer a range of services tailored to meet your individual needs, ensuring that you receive the best possible care. Your first appointment will be with one of our experienced nurses, who will conduct a thorough screening to ensure all necessary health checks are in place. For example, some women may need a bone density scan, as bone density can be affected during menopause.
If hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is the right option for you, our Doctor or Nurse Practitioner can prescribe it. We understand that HRT can be a beneficial treatment for many women, but it's not the only solution. Our team will work with you to explore all available options, ensuring that you have the information you need to make the best decision for your health.
Holistic Support for Your Wellbeing
We are proud to partner with Back on Track Physio, where a physiotherapist with a specialist interest in menopause and injury prevention for women at this stage of life is available to support you.
In addition to physiotherapy, you will also have access to a Health Improvement Practitioner. This professional is dedicated to helping you manage stress and improve your emotional wellbeing, which is an essential part of navigating menopause.
This partnership allows us to offer comprehensive care that includes physical health, emotional wellbeing, and stress management.
