This hormonal change often occurs at a time of life when women are under strain from lifestyle factors, such as coping with work pressures, elderly relatives and growing teenagers.

At your initial LHC consultation, we will discuss your symptoms and their impact on your life. We will also address relevant lifestyle influences. You will have had your blood tests done prior to our meeting and we’ll review them and explain their relevance to your condition. A hormonal regime will then be prescribed with any other medication or supplements. Further investigations will be arranged if indicated, such as a mammogram and pelvic ultrasound.
