Menopause and perimenopause support in Newmarket — private GP care & HRT

Private GP

28/08/2025 by Dr Amanda Northridge

Introduction

The average age for menopause in the UK is around 51. Symptoms can arrive years earlier and affect sleep, work and day-to-day life. At Mayfield Clinic we provide clear, personalised private menopause support for women in Newmarket — with fast access to a named GP, tailored testing and treatment plans that fit your life.

What is perimenopause and menopause?

Perimenopause is the transition leading up to menopause, when periods become irregular and symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, mood changes and brain fog often begin. Menopause is defined as 12 months without a period. Both stages are normal but they vary hugely in timing and intensity from woman to woman.

Common symptoms we treat

Symptoms that prompt women to seek private menopause advice include:

How Mayfield Clinic supports women from Newmarket

Mayfield Clinic offers private menopause consultations designed to listen first, investigate second and treat third. If you live in Newmarket you will be seen at our Cambridge practice; it’s a short journey from Newmarket (around a 25 minute drive) and we make appointments work around your life. See our Newmarket information here: Mayfield Clinic — Newmarket and our Cambridge location here: Mayfield Clinic — Cambridge.

Personal assessment and testing

We begin with a detailed history and symptom review, then recommend targeted blood tests when appropriate. These may include FSH, LH, oestradiol and other markers to clarify where you are in the transition. If you need private menopause blood tests these can be arranged and interpreted as part of your consultation.

Treatment options — HRT and beyond

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) remains one of the most effective treatments for menopausal symptoms. Our private GPs discuss the benefits and risks clearly and personalise the regimen — systemic or localised — to your needs. For patients seeking a private HRT prescription, we offer a careful assessment and follow‑up plan; learn about how we prescribe privately here: Prescriptions at Mayfield Clinic.

We also offer non‑hormonal medication options, pelvic health advice, and lifestyle strategies to reduce symptoms — from sleep hygiene to exercise and smoking cessation. Bone health and cardiovascular risk are reviewed and monitored as part of comprehensive menopause care.

We focus on fast access and continuity of care: you’ll see the same named GP, so treatment isn’t a one‑off — it’s a plan that adapts with you.

Why choose private menopause care with Mayfield Clinic?

Private consultations allow longer appointments, same‑day or rapid access where needed, and continuity with a named GP. Our approach combines clinical expertise with practical lifestyle guidance.
