Menopause & Perimenopause Support in Dorking — Private GP Care

Menopause and perimenopause support for Dorking patients

Most women reach menopause at around age 51, yet the journey there is highly individual. If you're in Dorking and struggling with hot flushes, disrupted sleep, mood changes or irregular periods, Mayfield Clinic offers fast, personalised private menopause care designed to get you feeling more like yourself — quickly and with continuity from the same GP.

How we help: personalised consultations and continuity of care

At Mayfield Clinic we take time to listen. During a dedicated menopause GP consultation we’ll review your symptoms, medical history and lifestyle, then agree a clear plan tailored to you. Most patients value seeing the same named doctor for follow-up — it builds trust and helps us fine-tune treatment. If you live in Dorking you will be booked into our Reigate practice for appointments; see our Reigate location for directions and appointment details: Mayfield Reigate. For local information about our services for Dorking residents see: Mayfield Dorking.

Assessment and testing — what to expect

We offer comprehensive assessments including targeted blood tests to check hormone levels and screen for related concerns such as thyroid function and vitamin D. These menopause blood tests (private) help guide treatment choices. Tests are arranged promptly and results are discussed with you at follow-up so treatment — whether HRT or alternatives — is monitored and adjusted.

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and private prescriptions

HRT remains one of the most effective treatments for common perimenopause and menopause symptoms. Our experienced GPs will discuss HRT prescription options, risks and benefits, and whether hormone therapy is right for you. We prescribe privately where appropriate and provide clear monitoring plans. For details on how we handle private prescriptions see: Private prescriptions at Mayfield.

Non-hormonal and lifestyle options

If HRT isn’t suitable or you prefer alternatives, we offer tailored strategies including SSRIs or SNRIs for mood and hot flushes, topical treatments for urogenital symptoms, and evidence-based lifestyle advice. Small changes add up: sleep hygiene, paced exercise on Box Hill or the North Downs, and dietary tweaks can all reduce symptom burden. Many Dorking patients tell us a short walk around Denbies helps clear brain fog and improves sleep.

"You are the expert on your experience. We bring the medical tools and continuity to turn that into a practical, ongoing plan."

Long-term health: bones, heart and beyond

Menopause has long-term implications for bone density and cardiovascular health. We provide tailored advice, arrange bone health checks where indicated, and support preventative measures such as lifestyle modification and appropriate medications. Our approach is holistic: symptom relief plus long-term risk management.
