Menopause FAQs
Can menopause cause constipation?
Yes, constipation can be a symptom of menopause. The decrease in estrogen levels can slow down your digestive system, making it harder to have regular bowel movements. We can provide nutritional advice and supplements to help alleviate this.
Why do I experience joint aches during menopause?
Joint aches and pains are common during menopause due to declining estrogen levels, which affect the joints and muscles. This can lead to stiffness, discomfort, and even conditions like frozen shoulder. Our treatment plans include therapies to help reduce pain and improve mobility.
What is the best treatment for hair loss due to menopause?
Hair loss due to menopause is often caused by hormonal imbalances. We provide both medical and cosmetic solutions to help stimulate hair growth and support the health of your hair and scalp.
Why am I gaining weight during menopause?
Weight gain during menopause is a common concern, particularly around the belly. This is often due to hormonal changes, slower metabolism, and shifts in muscle mass. We offer personalised plans that include dietary adjustments, menopause supplements, and, if needed, HRT, to help you manage your weight.
Can HRT help with all menopause symptoms?
While Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) can be very effective for managing many menopause symptoms like hot flushes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances, it’s not suitable for everyone. During your consultation, we will discuss if HRT is right for you and explore other treatment options.
How can I manage emotional symptoms like anger or irritability?
Menopause can significantly impact your emotional health, sometimes leading to anger towards husbands or partners, irritability, or frustration. We address these changes by offering support and treatments that help stabilise your mood, so you feel more in control.
What are menopause supplements, and do I need them?
Menopause supplements can help alleviate symptoms like hot flushes, joint pain, and mood swings by providing nutrients that support hormonal balance. During your consultation, we’ll recommend supplements that are backed by evidence and suited to your needs.
What is The Menopause Reset?
The Menopause Reset refers to making lifestyle changes that can help ease the transition through menopause, including adjustments to diet, exercise, and emotional well-being. We’ll help guide you through these changes so you can feel like yourself again.
Can intermittent fasting help with menopause weight gain?
Intermittent fasting can be an effective strategy for some women to manage menopause weight gain, but it’s important to ensure it fits your lifestyle and health needs. We’ll assess whether this approach is suitable for you during your consultation.
Is feeling nauseous a symptom of menopause?
Yes, nausea can be a symptom of menopause for some women. Fluctuations in hormone levels, especially during perimenopause, can affect your digestive system, leading to nausea or other digestive issues like acid reflux.
