Menopause

Menopause symptoms you shouldn't ignore

Menopause symptoms you shouldn't ignore

Generations of women were told that menopause was something to endure quietly. The clinical evidence — and our day-to-day experience in the consulting room — strongly disagrees. Many symptoms respond well to treatment, and untreated symptoms can have real consequences.

Symptoms worth raising

  • Persistent low mood or anxiety
  • Disrupted sleep over weeks or months
  • Brain fog affecting work
  • Joint pain not explained by injury
  • Loss of libido and intimacy concerns
  • Genitourinary symptoms (dryness, recurrent UTIs)
