Visiting

We have two menopause clinics, the general menopause clinic and the premature menopause clinic, both located at Queen Charlotte’s & Chelsea Hospital.

We provide care for women with routine menopause-related problems and specialised care for women with complex menopause-related gynaecological, medical and hormonal therapy problems.

Our premature menopause service is one of only a few of its kind in the UK, and we are at the forefront of research in this area. All patients (with consent) go onto a national registry to improve their care and that of future patients with premature menopause.

Conditions and treatments

We offer routine and specialised multidisciplinary care, as well as consultations with a psychologist if appropriate. We treat:

  • Menopause
  • Osteoporosis
  • Iatrogenic menopause (for women below the age of 40, medically/surgically induced menopause)
  • Spontaneous premature menopause

Treatments we offer

  • Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and alternatives
  • Premature menopause services
  • Complementary therapies
  • Pharmacological options and body identical hormone administration
  • Hormone profiles
  • Bone density scans
