Suffolk Menopause Clinic

The clinicians at Suffolk Menopause Clinic provide individualised evidence-based advice and treatment for women experiencing the perimenopause and the menopause. The clinic states that its care follows NICE and BMS guidelines.

Care is centred on menopause consultations. A first consultation is used to discuss the patient’s particular symptoms and make an individualised treatment plan. Follow-up consultations are used to review symptoms and plan next steps. Follow-up clinical advice can also be provided by email for clinical queries.

The clinic’s menopause information covers perimenopause, menopause, early menopause and premature menopause. It refers to symptoms linked to changing hormone levels, including the effects of oestrogen on the brain, bones, skin, heart, urinary system and genital area. It also refers to further investigations for women under 45 or under 40 where needed.

Treatment discussions may include hormone replacement and general lifestyle measures such as stopping smoking, reducing alcohol, eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly. The clinic states that individualised advice is important to assess each person’s own risks.

Appointments are offered face to face at Framlingham Physiotherapy Practice in Framlingham, and telephone consultations are also available. The clinic states that a GP referral is not required to begin treatment.
