Getting the right perimenopause treatment shouldn't take months of waiting or dismissive consultations. Our specialist GPs understand your symptoms and can prescribe effective treatment from your first appointment.
The most effective perimenopause treatments include hormone replacement therapy (HRT), which can dramatically reduce hot flushes, night sweats and mood changes. Body-identical HRT using estradiol gel and micronised progesterone is usually the first choice for women who can safely take hormones. For those who cannot use HRT, non-hormonal options like gabapentin, clonidine or certain antidepressants can provide significant relief.
The key to successful treatment is finding the right approach for your individual symptoms and health history. Our online menopause care pathway ensures you receive evidence-based treatment tailored to your specific needs, often within 24 hours of booking.
Our specialist menopause GPs can help many women manage their perimenopause symptoms effectively through secure video consultations.
Online perimenopause treatment could help if you're experiencing typical symptoms and want expert care without long NHS waits.
Certain conditions require face-to-face assessment or specialist referral before starting perimenopause treatment.
Understanding your treatment choices helps you make informed decisions about managing your perimenopause symptoms.
