Menopause has been overlooked for too long. It is completely normal and something that every woman goes through, but yet has not had the focus it deserves. World Menopause Day is an opportunity to start conversations about what’s happening to a women’s body. Additionally, it gives us a chance to promote understanding and highlight the support available.
Here at See me GP we have specialist knowledge and experience of prescribed hormonal therapies. We also promote multiple non-medical options to offer a personalised treatment plan tailored to each individual’s needs. These include; diet and nutrition, exercise, stress reduction, sleep, hydration and mental wellbeing.
From a medical perspective, menopause is a natural phase where your body transitions from its reproductive years to a new stage of life. Hormone levels shift, which can bring about various changes, physical, emotional and psychological. There are a wide range of medical options to help with the symptoms of menopause, both hormonal and lifestyle based, and everyone’s journey will be different and so treatment should be tailored according to this.
World Menopause Day serves as a reminder to prioritise our well-being. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and mindfulness practices can make a real difference in navigating the physical and emotional changes that come with menopause.
