Menopause treatment options: HRT and beyond
Treatment should be as individual as your experience of menopause. We'll help you understand the options available and decide what feels right for you.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
HRT is the most effective treatment for many menopause symptoms, replacing the hormones that decline at this stage of life. It comes in several forms, including patches, gels, sprays and tablets with body-identical oestrogen and progesterone, and your clinician will talk you through what's most appropriate for your health, symptoms and preferences. Read more about HRT at our clinic.
Vaginal oestrogen
A targeted, low-dose treatment for vaginal dryness, discomfort and recurrent urinary symptoms. It can be used on its own or alongside other treatments where appropriate.
Testosterone
For some patients experiencing persistent low libido despite appropriate HRT, testosterone may be considered as part of a wider treatment plan.
Non-hormonal treatment and lifestyle support
If HRT isn't right for you, we'll discuss non-hormonal treatments and the role of sleep, nutrition, exercise and psychological support in managing symptoms long-term.

Menopause specialist FAQs
What is a menopause specialist?
A menopause specialist is a doctor with additional training in perimenopause and menopause care, usually accredited by the British Menopause Society. At London Gynaecology our menopause specialists are Women's Health GPs and consultant gynaecologists, so you can be seen by the right clinician for your symptoms and history.
Should I see a GP or a gynaecologist for menopause?
For most women a BMS-accredited Women's Health GP is the right first appointment: 45 minutes to discuss symptoms, history and treatment including HRT. A consultant gynaecologist is recommended if you have a complex medical history, bleeding concerns, previous cancer, or need surgical or specialist input. Our team will guide you if you're unsure.
Do I need a GP referral to see a menopause specialist?
No. Self-pay patients can book a menopause consultation directly online. If you are using private medical insurance, your insurer may ask for a GP referral before authorising the appointment. Check your policy, and we can advise.
What do they do at a menopause clinic appointment?
Your specialist takes a full history of your symptoms, cycle and health, discusses what may be happening and talks through treatment options: HRT, vaginal oestrogen, testosterone or non-hormonal approaches. Most women over 45 do not need blood tests; if you do, blood tests, pelvic ultrasound and bone density scans can be arranged on site. You leave with a written plan.
Can I get menopause care on the NHS, and why choose private?
Yes. NHS menopause clinics exist and are accessed through a GP referral, and for many women that is the right route. Going private means no waiting list, a 45-minute appointment, the choice of a named BMS-accredited specialist, and no referral needed. Many patients use us for a one-off specialist opinion and continue their care with their NHS GP.
Can I get HRT privately at your clinic?
Yes. Our menopause specialists can prescribe HRT, including body-identical oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone where appropriate, and review it at follow-up. Private prescriptions can be dispensed locally or sent to your pharmacy.
Can you help with perimenopause, before my periods stop?
Yes. You don't need to wait for your periods to stop. Perimenopause symptoms such as changing cycles, sleep, mood, brain fog and hot flushes can start years earlier and are treatable. A perimenopause consultation follows the same format as a menopause consultation.
Where can I see a menopause specialist in London?
Our menopause specialists consult at Harley Street, The Portland Hospital (Great Portland Street), Moorgate and Richmond, and by video consultation. See our menopause clinics in London page for who consults where and how to get there.
Is bleeding after menopause normal?
No. Any bleeding after menopause should always be checked promptly by a specialist to rule out underlying causes. We offer the WID-easy test as a less invasive first investigation.
Can I have HRT if I've previously been told I can't?
Guidance and individual health circumstances change over time. It's worth having a fresh specialist review to see what options may now be appropriate for you.
Do I still need contraception during perimenopause?
Yes, pregnancy is still possible during perimenopause. Your clinician can advise on suitable contraception alongside any menopause treatment.
Ready to talk to someone?
You don't have to have all the answers before you book. Whether you're wondering if you're in perimenopause, struggling with symptoms, or looking for a second opinion, we're here to listen.
