Hormonal Care

Hot flushes. Night sweats. Periods that have lost their rhythm. Weight that won’t behave like it used to. These symptoms can feel scattered and unrelated, but often they aren’t. They can share a common root: oestrogen levels that are fluctuating and, eventually, declining. Once you can see the pattern, you can think about what to do next. A consultation is a good way to connect what’s been happening, work out what may be worth treating, and stop guessing.

*Please note the prescribing of medication is at the discretion of your Practitioner.

Symptoms that look unrelated, until you see them together

A My Clinic consultation looks at the whole picture rather than treating each symptom in isolation. We talk through what you’ve been experiencing, when it started, what’s making it worse, and what’s already been tried.

Hot flushes and night sweats often happen because the part of the brain that regulates body temperature can become more sensitive when oestrogen levels shift. Periods may lengthen, shorten, become heavier or lighter, or skip entirely as ovulation becomes less predictable. Weight changes can be driven by shifts in fat distribution, metabolic rate, and appetite regulation as hormones change.

Connecting these dots changes what you can do about them. We work through the options, including hormonal therapy where appropriate and other approaches where it isn’t, and build a plan that fits your situation rather than a generic protocol.

Seek support if hot flushes or night sweats are frequent, severe, or significantly affecting your sleep and daily life; if irregular bleeding includes very heavy periods, spotting between periods, or any bleeding after 12 months without a period; if weight gain is unexplained and persistent despite reasonable lifestyle habits; or if you want to understand your options and what may be appropriate for your specific circumstances.

Please note that all treatment decisions are made at the discretion of your Nurse Practitioner, based on your individual health needs and circumstances.

Every woman’s experience of perimenopause is different. What works well for one person may not suit another, and that’s exactly why a one-on-one conversation with a clinician makes such a difference.

Your MyClinic Nurse Practitioner will take the time to understand your symptoms, your lifestyle, and your goals — then talk through the options that may be appropriate for you.
