Menopause & Perimenopause Support near Saffron Walden — Private GP Care

Introduction

Around 13 million women in the UK experience perimenopause or menopause, and many find symptoms disrupt work, sleep and family life. At Mayfield Clinic we take time to listen. Short appointments, long-term continuity and clear plans — that’s what helps women from Saffron Walden regain control. Many local patients travel to our Cambridge practice (around a 25–35 minute drive) for consultations and ongoing care.

Why choose Mayfield Clinic for menopause care in Saffron Walden

We are a private general practice offering fast access to experienced GPs who specialise in women’s health and menopause management. If you are searching for “menopause specialist near me” or “private menopause clinic” in Saffron Walden, Mayfield offers personalised consultations, same-day advice where appropriate, and continuity with the same named GP so your history isn’t repeated at every visit.

Our approach

We combine evidence-based medical care with practical lifestyle advice. That means clear assessment of symptoms, relevant blood tests, explanation of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) options and alternatives, and a tailored plan that fits your life.

“Personalised care, continuity with a named GP, and rapid access are central to how we support menopause — whether you’re in early perimenopause or post-menopausal.”

What we offer

• Private menopause GP consultation: focused, confidential and personalised.
• Perimenopause treatment (private) including HRT prescription where appropriate.
• Menopause blood tests private: hormone panels, thyroid, full blood count, lipids and bone health screening.
• Comprehensive menopause care covering sleep, mood, sexual health and cardiovascular risk.
• Clear follow-up and monitoring, with medication adjustments as needed.

HRT and prescription options

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can relieve hot flushes, night sweats, vaginal dryness and some mood symptoms. Our GPs discuss systemic and local HRT, transdermal versus oral options, and non-hormonal alternatives if HRT isn’t suitable. For details on our prescribing approach see our prescriptions page.

Assessments and tests

We use a structured assessment to understand your individual experience: symptom history, targeted examination and blood tests. Menopause blood tests private through our clinic include FSH, LH, oestradiol (where helpful), thyroid function and metabolic markers — all delivered with interpretation and a follow-up plan tailored for you.

Long-term health: bone and heart

Menopause affects bone density and cardiovascular risk. We advise on FRAX score assessment, calcium and vitamin D optimisation, exercise and smoking/alcohol advice. If bone scanning or specialist input is required, we coordinate referrals for a smooth pathway from Saffron Walden to our Cambridge services.

Continuity of care and Membership

Regular reviews make menopause management safer and more effective. Our Core Subscription membership gives patients a set number of annual appointments and priority access to the same named GP. Members can book directly via our dedicated phone line or WhatsApp, and we keep comprehensive records for continuity. Learn more about whether membership is right for you on our Membership page.

Practical steps before your appointment

1. Make a note of your key symptoms and when they started (hot flushes, periods, mood changes, sleep problems, brain fog).
2. Bring a list of current medications and any family history of heart disease or osteoporosis.
3. Consider tracking symptoms for a few weeks on your phone; this helps target treatment.
