Health, Perimenopause & Menopause Care in Peterborough
Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can affect much more than your menstrual cycle. Many women experience changes in their energy, mood, sleep, skin, hair, weight, bone health and overall wellbeing, often years before their periods stop completely.
At Dermal Plus Clinic in Peterborough, we provide comprehensive women’s health assessments and personalised treatment plans to help you understand your symptoms, optimise your health and improve your quality of life during every stage of midlife.
Every treatment plan is tailored to your symptoms, medical history, blood test results and long-term health goals.
What is Perimenopause?
Perimenopause is the transitional phase before menopause, when hormone levels begin to fluctuate.
It often starts during your 40s but may begin earlier or later. Symptoms can develop gradually and may continue for several years before menopause occurs.
Many women experience symptoms despite still having regular periods.
What is Menopause?
Menopause is confirmed when you have gone 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period.
During menopause, oestrogen levels fall significantly, leading to changes that can affect many systems throughout the body.
These changes vary greatly between individuals and may have a significant impact on daily life.
