🌸

Menopause & HRT

Menopause HRT Hormone Replacement Therapy Complex Cases

Menopause care in Esher is provided by Dr Vicky Gavins and Dr Joanne Horgan. Consultations are supportive, thorough and tailored to you, with treatment plans designed around your symptoms and individual needs. This may include hormone replacement therapy (HRT), including oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone where appropriate. The clinic also provides specialist support for women with more complex menopause needs, including premature ovarian insufficiency and those with high-risk cancer genes.

🔄

Perimenopause

Perimenopause Brain Fog Anxiety Sleep Early Intervention

Perimenopause can begin years before menopause itself, often long before periods stop. Many women don't realise that symptoms such as brain fog, weight gain, poor sleep, restless legs, anxiety and a loss of confidence may be linked to changing hormone levels. Dr Vicky Gavins and Dr Joanne Horgan are experienced in recognising the early signs of perimenopause and providing treatment and support at the right time. In line with guidance from the British Menopause Society, they support early intervention with hormone replacement therapy (HRT) where appropriate, helping to improve symptoms and quality of life before they become overwhelming.

Male Hormone Health

Testosterone for Men Andropause PSA Prostate Screening Stockholm3

Men can also experience age-related hormone changes, including a gradual decline in testosterone. Symptoms may include fatigue, low libido, low mood, erectile dysfunction, reduced muscle mass and increased weight around the abdomen. The clinic provides thorough assessment and support for male hormone health, including personalised treatment plans and testosterone replacement therapy where appropriate. Care also includes comprehensive blood testing, including PSA monitoring for prostate health, alongside advanced prostate screening with Stockholm3 testing.

Blood Tests & Screening

Blood Tests Hormone Levels Screening Health Check

Blood tests can provide valuable information about your overall health and hormone balance, helping you make informed decisions and identify potential issues early. They are often a useful part of monitoring health and wellbeing, particularly when symptoms may not have an obvious cause. For menopause and perimenopause consultations, blood tests are optional and not always necessary. The Female Health Clinic can arrange testing before, during or after your appointment where appropriate. Patients are also welcome to provide recent results from their own GP if available.

Weight Management

Medicated Weight Loss Hormonal Weight Gain Nurse-Led Reviews

Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can contribute to stubborn weight gain, particularly around the abdomen, which may feel difficult to manage with diet and exercise alone. The clinic offers a medically supervised weight loss service designed to support long-term, sustainable results. Throughout treatment, patients are closely monitored by an experienced nurse, with regular reviews of progress, weight changes and any potential side effects to help ensure treatment remains safe, effective and appropriate for each individual.

Your First Visit

How it works

Discovery Call

Call 01372 502402 to arrange a discovery call with a member of The Female Health Clinic Patient Services team. This is an opportunity to discuss what you would like help with, receive an overview of fees, and be guided towards the most appropriate specialist for your needs.

15 min

(Peri)menopause Initial Consultation

Before your consultation, you will be asked to complete a detailed symptom questionnaire. This allows your doctor to review your medical history in advance and ensures your appointment time is used to focus on your symptoms, concerns and next steps together, creating a personalised plan tailored to your needs.

60 min

Treatment Begins

If hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is recommended, your specialist will prescribe HRT tailored to your needs. This may include oestrogen, progesterone and/or testosterone, depending on your symptoms and medical history. Prescriptions are issued privately and can be dispensed at any pharmacy in the UK.

Ongoing

Follow-up & Reviews

A follow-up appointment is usually arranged 8 to 12 weeks after your initial consultation to review your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment. Once your symptoms are stable, some patients choose to continue their HRT care through their NHS GP. The clinic can support and help coordinate this where appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions

Do I need a GP referral to be seen at FHC? +

You do not need a GP referral to get started. Your treatment is completely confidential, and it is up to you whether your GP is involved.

You can book a consultation directly by calling 01372 502402, emailing info@thefemalehealthclinic.co.uk, or booking online at thefemalehealthclinic.co.uk/make-an-appointment/

Do you treat men too? +

Are blood tests required before my first appointment? +

Where is the Esher clinic and is there parking? +

How long does it take for Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) to start working? +

This can vary from person to person, but generally improvements are noticed within a few weeks. Many women report that hot flushes, aching joints, and night sweats tend to ease within a few weeks of starting HRT, though other symptoms may take a bit longer to settle. One of the first things women often notice is better sleep, and with that comes improvements in mood, energy levels, concentration, and a reduction in tiredness.

What age does perimenopause start? +
