Up to 80% of women experience symptoms during perimenopause and menopause, yet many struggle to access timely, personalised care. The journey through hormonal transition affects every woman differently. Hot flashes might disrupt your Edinburgh commute. Brain fog could impact work presentations. Sleep disturbances may leave you exhausted.
At Mayfield Clinic Edinburgh, we understand that menopause isn't just about managing symptoms—it's about maintaining your quality of life during a significant life transition.
Our experienced GPs provide dedicated menopause GP consultation services across Edinburgh. We recognise that perimenopause can begin years before your periods stop completely, often catching women off guard with irregular cycles, mood changes, and unexpected symptoms.
During your private menopause consultation, we take time to understand your individual experience. Every woman's hormonal journey is unique. What works for your colleague might not suit you. Our personalised approach ensures your treatment plan addresses your specific symptoms and lifestyle needs.
"We believe in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. Your menopause journey deserves expert attention and ongoing support."
Hormone replacement therapy remains one of the most effective treatments for menopausal symptoms. Our Edinburgh-based GPs are experienced in prescribing various HRT formulations, from patches and gels to tablets and hormone coils. We'll discuss the benefits and risks based on your medical history and personal preferences.
Beyond HRT prescription private services, we explore alternative treatments when appropriate. These might include lifestyle modifications, dietary changes, or other medications that can help manage specific symptoms like sleep disturbances or mood changes.
Understanding your hormone levels provides valuable insights into your menopausal status. Our private menopause blood tests can help confirm perimenopause, assess your overall health, and guide treatment decisions. We also monitor bone health, cardiovascular risk factors, and other long-term health considerations.
Regular follow-up appointments allow us to adjust treatments as needed. Menopause isn't a one-size-fits-all experience, and your treatment shouldn't be either.
Traditional NHS waiting times can be frustrating when you're experiencing disruptive symptoms. Our private GP services ensure you can access expert menopause care when you need it most.
Same-day appointments are often available for urgent concerns. Whether you're experiencing your first perimenopause symptoms or need ongoing post-menopause care, our Edinburgh clinic provides timely, professional support.
Menopause management works best with consistent, ongoing care from the same healthcare provider. Our Membership scheme offers Edinburgh women regular access to their named GP, ensuring comprehensive patient records and personalised treatment plans.
Members can book appointments directly via phone or WhatsApp, making it easier to schedule follow-up consultations and medication reviews. This continuity is particularly valuable during perimenopause when symptoms can change unpredictably.
