The average age for menopause in the UK is around 51, yet the journey there can begin much earlier. Whether you live in Ely or commute into Cambridge, symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, sleep disruption and brain fog can make daily life harder. At Mayfield Clinic we combine rapid access to a named GP with personalised treatment plans so you don’t feel passed from pillar to post.
Our private menopause support for patients in Ely includes a comprehensive initial consultation, targeted blood tests to check hormone levels, and tailored treatment options including hormone replacement therapy (HRT) where appropriate. We take time to understand how symptoms affect your work, family life and wellbeing, and create a practical plan you can follow.
Although we market services to Ely residents, our clinical consultations are delivered from our Cambridge practice. Patients from Ely are welcome — it’s an easy trip (around 20–25 minutes’ drive) and the clinical standards are identical. See our Ely page for local information: Mayfield Clinic — Ely. Clinic location and parking details for appointments are on our Cambridge page: Mayfield Clinic — Cambridge.
“Fast access, the same named GP and a personalised menopause plan — that’s our promise to women in and around Ely.”
During your appointment our GPs will take a full history, assess symptom severity, review medical background, and discuss your preferences and concerns about HRT and other treatments. We can arrange private blood tests to look at FSH, oestradiol and thyroid function and interpret results in the context of your symptoms. If HRT is appropriate, we will explain the options and risks, prescribe as needed and provide follow-up.
HRT remains the most effective treatment for many menopausal symptoms. We offer private HRT prescription and monitoring, and can discuss transdermal patches, gels, combined preparations and tibolone where suitable. For those who prefer non-hormonal approaches, we provide evidence-based alternatives: SSRIs/SNRIs for mood or hot flushes, vaginal oestrogen for local symptoms, and lifestyle measures to reduce symptom burden.
Menopause care at Mayfield includes more than symptom control. We assess bone and cardiovascular health risks and, where indicated, arrange DEXA scans or onward referral. Regular reviews keep treatment optimised — we monitor symptom response and adjust prescriptions as needed. For details on how we prescribe privately see: Private prescriptions at Mayfield.
One of the common frustrations we hear from women in Ely is variable access and seeing different clinicians each time. That’s why our service emphasises rapid appointments and continuity: you can usually see the same named GP for follow-up visits and medication reviews, improving outcomes and trust. Many patients benefit from our Membership scheme which offers direct booking by phone or WhatsApp and continuity of records. Learn more about membership here: Is Mayfield Clinic membership right for you?.
Members get priority booking and a direct line to the clinic, which can be particularly helpful during a symptomatic flare or when you need an urgent medication review. Our Core Subscription includes a set number of appointments each year and continuity with a named GP. For details on accessing services and booking online see: How to access our GP services.
Small, focused changes often make the biggest difference. We provide tailored lifestyle advice for sleep hygiene, weight management, pelvic floor health and stress reduction — all delivered with an understanding of local life in Ely. For example, walking on the River Great Ouse or short cycles into town can support mood and sleep, while structured strength training helps bone health as oestrogen levels change.
