Perimenopause and menopause are natural transitions, but the symptoms can significantly impact daily life. Women benefit from personalised, evidence-based care to help you navigate this stage with confidence — aligned with best practice guidelines.
What Is Perimenopause?
Perimenopause is the transition phase leading up to menopause, often beginning in a woman's 40s, and can last several years. During this time, oestrogen and progesterone levels fluctuate, leading to symptoms including:
- Irregular periods
- Hot flushes and night sweats
- Mood changes and anxiety
- Sleep disruption
- Brain fog and difficulty concentrating
- Vaginal dryness and reduced libido
- Joint aches and fatigue
Menopause is confirmed when periods have stopped for 12 consecutive months.

There are a wide range of treatments available for perimenopause and menopause, and a discussion with your GP is the best place to start.

Your GP as Your First Point of Contact
