What is Menopause?
Menopause is when your period stops completely due to lower hormone levels. Effecting women in different ways, menopause causes the body to change and many women experience weight gain through the transition. Physical function, composition and bone or heart health are among the list of medical conditions that women could have an increased risk of developing during this stage.
It can certainly be difficult going through menopause, which is why it’s so helpful to have medical advice during the first few weeks in the transition of irregular periods. It’s natural to go through menopause, and with treatments such as hormone therapy available, you don’t need to worry.
Common signs of menopause are anxiety, low moods, changes in skin condition, struggle sleeping and discomfort during sexual intercourse. As mentioned, certain symptoms are worse for different women and vice versa, but our expert GPs can help you regardless.
Typically lasting for around seven years, the menopausal transition can be easy to notice, more so when you get the first sign of your period stopping. Meaning ‘the last menstrual period’, menopause is natural and can’t be prevented. Looking at family history can be an indicator of when you might start menopause.
Living with the experience of menopause symptoms can be hard for most women, but unfortunately, it’s something that happens to all of us and is part of ageing. It’s important to talk with a doctor when menopause is approaching – if you’re struggling to find a suitable GP, look no further than DAM Health.
Menopause Symptoms
Menopause symptoms differ, but they usually occur when your ovaries stop producing as much oestrogen and your body stops releasing an egg each month. Certain treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, which are given to patients with cancer, can affect menopause.
Premature menopause isn’t too uncommon – and it can happen at any age when estrogen levels decrease. There’s no specific cause for premature menopause, but if you’re struggling, speaking to a DAM Health professional could be beneficial. If you think you’re approaching menopause, look out for signs of brain fog, sleep issues, hot flashes, low libido, migraines, sweats, vaginal dryness and pain and memory issues.
Dealing with Menopause at DAM Health
Dealing with menopause discretely from your home is often the most comforting way to process the transition. Here at DAM Health, we offer a plethora of various services to help women that are struggling or not coping with menopause as well as they thought they could. With so many women experiencing menopause, it can be hard trying to talk to a GP through the NHS.
DAM Health offers quick, reliable services for those in need. We provide a menopause hormone profile, which allows you to test at home, as well as magnesium cream for women experiencing dryness.
Perimenopause, the time period of transition, can be just as challenging as menopause itself, which is why our clients are able to purchase our complex pack – a scientifically proven formula of various vitamins and minerals.
You can rest assured that our GPs are trained doctors and clinicians. We’re able to work just the same as your regular doctor, offering clients prescriptions, sick notes and referral letters when needed. Your DAM Health healthcare provider will deal with your issues in a calm manner, whilst being supportive as possible.
Once accessed, we guide you through your options. It can be tough on your mental health going through menopause alone, which is why we always recommend speaking to a trained professional for some advice. Our clients come back to us time and time again because of our quality services.
