Menopause & Peri-Menopause

Overview

Expert Menopause Care When You Need It Most

Private Menopause Specialist Serving Teesside, Durham, Newcastle & Across the North East

At Consultants Choice Clinic, we understand that menopause is one of the most significant transitions a woman can experience — and that navigating it without the right support can feel overwhelming. Our dedicated menopause clinic in the North East offers expert, compassionate care from experienced specialists who will truly listen, assess your individual symptoms, and work with you to create a personalised menopause management plan that helps you feel like yourself again.

Whether you’re in the early stages of perimenopause, experiencing the full effects of menopause, or dealing with persistent symptoms long after your periods have stopped, our private menopause clinic in the North East provides the time, expertise, and continuity of care that NHS appointments often simply cannot offer.

Menopause is not a condition to push through alone — it is a medical transition that deserves proper clinical attention. As a trusted women’s health clinic in the North East, we are here to make sure you get it.

Symptoms

Recognising the Signs — Menopause & Perimenopause Symptoms

Menopause and perimenopause can affect virtually every aspect of your physical and mental wellbeing. Many women are surprised to learn that symptoms can begin years before periods stop entirely — this is perimenopause, and it deserves the same specialist attention as menopause itself.

You may benefit from a menopause consultation if you are experiencing any of the following:

Physical Symptoms

Hot flushes & night sweats Sudden waves of intense heat, facial flushing, and drenching night sweats are among the most common and disruptive symptoms of menopause. Far more than a minor inconvenience, they can disrupt sleep, affect confidence, and impact daily life significantly. Our specialists offer effective hot flush treatment and night sweats treatment tailored to your individual needs.

Joint pain & muscle aches Falling oestrogen levels can cause joint pain and stiffness that is frequently mistaken for arthritis or general ageing. Joint pain menopause treatment can make a significant difference to your comfort, mobility, and quality of life.

Fatigue & low energy Persistent, unexplained exhaustion that a full night’s sleep doesn’t resolve is a hallmark of hormonal change. Our menopause fatigue treatment targets the underlying hormonal causes — not just the surface-level tiredness.

Weight changes Many women notice weight gain around the abdomen during menopause, even without changes to diet or exercise. Addressing weight gain in menopause is a core part of our holistic care approach.

Low libido A significant and often distressing reduction in sexual desire is extremely common during and after menopause — and very treatable. Low libido menopause treatment is discussed with complete sensitivity and without judgement.

Sleep disturbances Difficulty falling asleep, frequent waking, early morning waking, and non-restorative sleep are closely linked to hormonal fluctuation. Effective sleep problems menopause treatment can restore rest and transform your daytime functioning.

Cognitive & Emotional Symptoms

Brain fog Many women describe an unsettling difficulty concentrating, a tendency to forget words, and a general sense of mental cloudiness. Brain fog in menopause is a well-recognised symptom and not a sign of something more sinister — but it does deserve treatment.

Mood changes & anxiety Irritability, low mood, tearfulness, and increased anxiety are extremely common during perimenopause and menopause, yet frequently go unrecognised as hormone-related. Mood changes in menopause and anxiety during menopause are highly treatable with the right specialist support.

Loss of confidence Feeling unlike yourself, struggling with motivation, withdrawing from social situations, or experiencing a general sense of not coping — these are real, valid symptoms, and help is available.

Perimenopause Symptoms

If you are in your late 30s or 40s and noticing these changes — even if your periods are still regular — you may be experiencing perimenopause. Irregular cycles, worsening PMS, and the symptoms listed above can all indicate hormonal imbalance in women that warrants expert assessment.

Early menopause (before age 45) and premature ovarian insufficiency (POI, before age 40) also require prompt specialist attention. Our perimenopause clinic and menopause clinic in the North East provide dedicated support for women at every stage of this transition.

Prevention

Managing Your Long-Term Health Through Menopause

Menopause is not simply about managing symptoms as they arise — it is an important window for protecting your long-term health. Falling oestrogen levels affect far more than how you feel day-to-day; they have measurable impacts on bone density, cardiovascular health, cognitive function, and metabolic wellbeing.

At Consultants Choice Clinic, our approach to menopause care is proactive as well as responsive. We don’t just treat what is troubling you today — we help you understand and reduce your long-term health risks.

Bone Health

Oestrogen plays a critical role in maintaining bone density. After menopause, the rate of bone loss accelerates significantly, increasing the risk of osteoporosis and fracture in later life. Early intervention — whether through HRT, lifestyle changes, or other strategies — can make a meaningful difference to your skeletal health for decades to come.

Cardiovascular Health

Before menopause, oestrogen offers a degree of natural protection against cardiovascular disease. As levels decline, this protection diminishes. Our menopause specialists assess your individual cardiovascular risk and incorporate this into your overall menopause management plan.

Cognitive Wellbeing

Growing evidence links oestrogen to brain health and cognitive function. Addressing hormonal change early may support long-term cognitive wellbeing and reduce the impact of brain fog and memory changes.

Lifestyle & Menopause Wellbeing

Alongside medical treatment, we provide guidance on the lifestyle factors that can support a healthy menopause — including nutrition, physical activity, sleep hygiene, and stress management. Menopause wellbeing is holistic, and our care reflects that.

Proactive menopause care is not about medicalising a natural process. It is about giving you the information and support to make informed choices that protect your health now and in the years ahead.

What We Treat

Our Menopause Services at Consultants Choice Clinic

As a leading private menopause clinic in the North East, we offer a comprehensive range of specialist services — from initial assessment through to long-term management and ongoing support.

Menopause Assessment & Consultation

Your journey with us begins with a thorough, unhurried menopause consultation. We’ll take a detailed medical and symptom history, discuss how menopause is affecting every area of your life, and carry out or arrange relevant investigations — including menopause blood tests to assess hormone levels where appropriate.

Following your assessment, you’ll leave with a clear, personalised menopause management plan and a full understanding of your options.

Perimenopause Clinic

Our dedicated perimenopause clinic provides specialist support for women in the transitional phase before menopause. Perimenopause symptoms can be just as disruptive as menopause itself — and early, expert perimenopause treatment can significantly improve your day-to-day wellbeing and long-term health outcomes.

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

HRT remains the gold-standard treatment for menopause symptoms, and our HRT clinic in the North East offers expert prescribing, monitoring, and ongoing management. We take a fully personalised approach, selecting the most appropriate type, delivery method, and dosage for your individual needs, health history, and preferences.

Options we can discuss and prescribe include:

  • Oestrogen-only HRT
  • Combined HRT (oestrogen and progesterone)
  • Testosterone therapy (for low libido and mood)
  • Bioidentical hormones and body-identical hormones
  • Topical preparations, patches, gels, and tablets

We’ll explain the benefits, risks, and alternatives clearly, and support you in making a fully informed decision that’s right for your body and your life.

Non-Hormonal Menopause Treatments

For women who cannot take or prefer not to use HRT, we offer a range of evidence-based non-hormonal alternatives to manage menopause symptoms effectively. No woman should feel she has run out of options.

Menopause Blood Tests

Where clinically appropriate, we arrange menopause blood tests to assess hormone levels, thyroid function, and other relevant markers. Crucially, results are always reviewed in the full context of your clinical picture — not interpreted in isolation.

Early Menopause & Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI)

Women experiencing early menopause (before age 45) or premature ovarian insufficiency (before age 40) face distinct clinical challenges and often require more urgent and sustained hormonal treatment. Our specialists have the expertise to support you appropriately.

Menopause Wellbeing & Follow-Up Care

Menopause is not a one-off event — and our support doesn’t end after a single appointment. We provide regular reviews to monitor your treatment, adjust your plan as your needs evolve, and ensure you continue to feel the full benefit of your care over time.
