The British Menopause Society is the specialist authority for menopause and post reproductive health in the UK.

With our specialist menopause clinic in London (near Moorgate in the City of London) or around the UK via video or telephone, you will receive personalised care. You will be given time to discuss your symptoms and concerns in detail. You will have a full assessment, which may include blood tests. We will go through with you the risks of osteoporosis, cardiovascular events and breast cancer and what can be done to reduce these risks.
We will discuss management options. This will include, what you can do for yourself and the range of treatments available including hormone replacement therapy (HRT), body identical hormone therapies and alternative treatments. We will go through their benefits and any associated risks.
We will explore with you what suits you best based on your background history, symptoms, beliefs and lifestyle. Not one treatment works the same for every woman nor one size fits all. Sometimes you may need to try 2 or 3 treatments to find the one best suited to you.
Our objective is to help you take control of your symptoms in the most suitable and safe way. The overall aim is to find the option that feels right and works for you.

What to expect during the first consultation
Why the interest in menopause care? - Dr Theodora Kalentzi, Founder of Medical Prime
I was a medical student when I first witnessed someone with debilitating hot flushes and sweats. It was my mother. She was in her early 50s suffering in silence, overloaded with juggling the competing demands of running a business and looking after her family.
It was very sad that she felt unable to talk about it because the norm was just to put up with it.
Fast forward 30 years and the menopause remains a challenge, still misunderstood by many. More than ever, it carries the dreaded perception that ‘we are getting old’ in a society that celebrates youth and not maturity. Read the full story
Menopause is the end of having the ‘time of the month’. Could it be the start of having ‘the time of your life’?
You are worried, you are unsure, you are confused. Is it the menopause? You may still have periods, they may be irregular or they may have stopped. You know something has changed which seems to be affecting your work, your family or your relationships.
You may notice changes in your body, emotions, or mental state. Your hair is thinning on your head and is growing on your face, your memory becomes foggy, your sex drive is a thing of the past, you become sweaty out of the blue, your mood changes like the British weather.
Maybe you have been taking HRT and you are worried about breast cancer and what happens to your symptoms if you stop the treatment.
