The Manchester Menopause Hive is starting as a small clinic and we hope to grow and develop over the next few years, but the real expansion will be with the knowledge that we hope you will be able to take forwards and pass on to those around you.
We believe that everybody’s journey through menopause is individual. Body identical HRT can be a fantastic starting point for many and also has many positive health benefits such as cardiovascular and bone protection, but menopause is about so much more than just this. Menopause is a transition and for some it may not really cause any symptoms at all, yet for others it can really cause significant impairment to health and wellbeing.
Although the average age of natural menopause is around 51 we know that many women will experience symptoms at a much earlier age than this either due to conditions such as Premature Ovarian Insufficiency or having menopause induced through medical treatments, cancer treatments or surgery. We hope to be able to support you to reclaim your sense of self and to feel strong and confident again whatever your personal circumstances.
For everyone going through menopause it can be a time to take stock, to look at lifestyle factors that might not be ideal for future health, to reflect and to decide on how you want this next chapter of your life to look.
Many of our clients will opt for HRT treatment and we can talk you through the differences between body identical HRT and the older synthetic preparations that used to be commonly used. We can formulate a regime that fits with your symptoms and we can gradually adjust this if neccesary during follow up appointments.
With many of our clients we hope to be able to pass your care back to your GP, but of course there is the option to stay with us if this would be your choice.
We really look forward to meeting you.
