Menopause key facts
The menopause is a time in a woman’s life when her menstrual cycles and reproductive years end. During the menopause a woman will stop releasing eggs and her levels of estrogen and progesterone (the hormones responsible for menstruation and fertility) will also fall. Menopause normally occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, but this can vary from person to person.
Here, we will take a closer look at menopause, its causes, symptoms and treatment options available.
What is the perimenopause?
The phase in a woman’s life before the menopause, is called the perimenopause. During the perimenopause, less estrogen is produced by the ovaries, resulting in changes in the menstrual cycle and irregular periods. Other symptoms include mood swings, hot flashes, night sweats, difficulty sleeping, and vaginal dryness.
Hot flashes
Hot flashes (vasomotor symptoms) are the most common symptom of menopause. Hot flashes are often accompanied by sweating, hot flushes and a rapid heartbeat. Around three quarters of women experience hot flashes during the menopausal transition. Hot flashes may continue for around 2 years, but this may vary.
Other symptoms of menopause
Other symptoms may include irregular or missed periods, vaginal dryness, sore breasts, urinary incontinence, difficulty sleeping, mood changes, irritability, depression, tiredness, headaches, joint and muscle aches, weight gain, hair loss, vaginal atrophy and changes in sex drive.
When does menopause start?
When menopause starts is affected by factors, such as lifestyle, genetics, and other medical conditions. Underweight smokers tend to experience the menopause earlier, while women who are overweight may experience menopause later. Ethnicity does not however play a major role for the age of onset of menopause.
What is premature menopause and induced menopause?
Premature menopause is menopause that occurs before the age of 40, due to factors such as genetics, autoimmune diseases, medical treatments, or radiation therapy. Premature menopause may cause more severe symptoms needing treatment to manage any hormonal changes and potential health risks.
Induced menopause occurs when a woman has her ovaries surgically removed or receives treatment which damages the ovaries, causing a reduction in estrogen levels, triggering symptoms of menopause.
How to diagnose menopause
Diagnosis of menopause takes into consideration age, symptoms, and changes in the menstrual cycle. Blood tests can be used to measure hormone levels, such as the follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and estradiol. FSH increases as a woman approaches menopause, while estradiol levels decrease.
How to manage menopause symptoms
Lifestyle changes to alleviate symptoms
- Maintain a balanced diet containing calcium, vitamin D, and soy-based foods
- Regular exercise to reduce the risk of osteoporosis and heart disease
- Reduction of stress using yoga or meditation
- Managing changes in body temperature by wearing light clothing
- Avoiding caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods
- Staying mentally active to promote good cognitive health
Hormone therapy
Hormone therapy may be used for women with severe menopause symptoms. This uses estrogen and sometimes progesterone, in the form of a patch, pill, cream, vaginal ring, gel or spray, to replace hormones no longer produced by the body. Oral contraception can also be used to help manage the symptoms of menopause.
Hormone therapy is not necessarily suitable for everyone, and women with a history of breast cancer or cardiovascular disease, may require alternative treatment.
Non-hormonal medications and alternative treatments
Non-hormonal medications such as paroxetine, venlafaxine, gabapentin and clonidine are effective in reducing hot flashes and sleep disturbances. Acupuncture is another potential option for the management of menopause symptoms.
Frequently asked questions
When does menopause occur?
Menopause occurs from the age of 45 to 55, but this can vary depending on genetics, general health, and other medical conditions. Menopause that occurs before the age of 45 is called early menopause.
Can a hysterectomy cause menopause?
If a woman has her uterus removed (hysterectomy) while keeping her ovaries, she will not experience the menopause immediately. However, her menstrual periods will stop, and she will not be able to conceive. If a woman has a hysterectomy and has both ovaries removed, menopause will occur immediately, as the ovaries are responsible for the production of hormones.
Can menopause affect bone health?
Estrogen helps to maintain bone density. A reduction in estrogen levels during menopause increases the risk of osteoporosis. To promote healthy bones:
- Exercise using weights
- Maintain a diet containing dairy products, leafy greens, and fortified foods, and consider calcium and vitamin D supplements
- Avoid smoking
Does menopause affect heart health?
Women may be at an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, such as heart attacks after menopause. Prioritize your heart health by:
- Monitoring your blood pressure and cholesterol levels
- Eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, managing your stress levels, avoiding smoking or excessive alcohol consumption
How will menopause affect my sexual health?
Menopause can cause vaginal dryness, causing discomfort during intercourse. Menopause can also reduce your sex drive. Treatment options include:
- Discussing your concerns with your partner and healthcare provider
- Using over-the-counter lubricants and moisturizers
- Using hormonal therapies
Does menopause affect sleep?
Yes. Sleep disturbance is common during menopause. Symptoms include night sweats and disrupted sleep patterns. Try the following:
- Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet. Use breathable bedding and consider using a fan or air conditioning
- Develop a relaxing routine before bed, such as a warm bath or reading a book
- Limit caffeine and alcohol close to bedtime
How long does the menopause last?
The transition to menopause can last around 7 years. However, this may vary and some women may experience symptoms for a longer or shorter period of time. Postmenopause is defined as when your last period was over 12 months ago.
Can menopause affect my mental health?
Hormonal changes during menopause can cause mood swings, irritability, and changes to your mental well-being. Consider the following:
- Connect with friends, family, or support groups to receive emotional support
- Engage in activities that help you relax
- Consult a mental health professional if your symptoms affect your daily life or continue for long periods
Conclusion
Menopause is a natural process of life for every woman. By having a healthy lifestyle, staying connected to support groups and healthcare providers, and understanding menopause you can manage your symptoms with greater ease.

Service Guide
Everything you need to know about Getting Treated Privately for Menopause
What does the Get Treated Privately service for Menopause do?
The Get Treated Privately service is a private prescribing service which is designed for adults aged 18 years and over, who are experiencing health issues and who would like to receive a fast-track assessment and if applicable, a treatment plan from a qualified prescribing clinician. Treatments for Menopause are dispensed and delivered to your home or workplace from our regulated online pharmacy.
Is this a safe Menopause prescribing service?
Yes. Our formulary of medications prescribed for Menopause are controlled, governed, and continuously risk-assessed by our Medical Director, Dr. Aseel Hamoud. Unlike other prescribing services which operate using faceless questionnaires, our Menopause prescribing service is conducted through remote video consultations, also known as synchronous consultations. This builds patient safety and prescribing appropriateness into our service, ensuring our prescribing clinicians can be satisfied with who and what they are treating. There is no guarantee of supply of medications, and any prescriptions supplied are at the sole discretion of our clinician prescriber. There is no charge for the Menopause consultation.
What is a prescribing clinician and is it safe for me to use them on the NowPatient platform?
Our prescribing clinicians are board-certified pharmacists, nurses, or doctors who can also prescribe any medicine for any medical condition, subject to accepted accreditation and good clinical practice. They are all registered with their respective regulatory bodies. For example, a pharmacist independent prescriber is registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC). Each prescribing clinician undergoes an extensive background check including a disclosure and barring service check (DBS). In addition, they undergo a rigorous license verification process. When you book an appointment with our prescribing clinicians you will see their full name, license number, and any specialized credentials they have.
Is the service available worldwide?
Yes, you can get treated privately for Menopause worldwide.
Do I need to pay for this service?
Yes. This is a private service. You do not need to pay for the consultation. You only pay for the cost of the Menopause treatment that you are prescribed.
How do I book a consultation?
Once you have logged into your account, you will need to navigate to the Get Treated Privately service card which is located as a service item on the dashboard.
Using the action button on the service card, you can select one of the following – ‘Search Treatments’ or ‘Search Conditions’. From here you can search for Menopause.
Depending on the search type and the product/condition that you would like to get treated, you will be taken to a consultation booking screen. Follow the simple steps to complete your booking. During the booking confirmation, you will be able to select a date and time that is convenient for you, along with the preferred language and gender of the prescribing clinician you wish to choose. You will then see a list of all available expert clinicians who are trained to assess the medication or condition chosen. Once you have confirmed your booking, you will see a summary of the appointment including preliminary information about the consultation. At this point, you will also be able to add a reminder to your calendar. Always ensure your account health profile is up to date before any consultation. This ensures that our clinicians have the most up-to-date information about your current health status and anything that may influence their prescribing decisions. You will receive a push notification, SMS notification and email reminding you of your consultation, 30 minutes before the virtual consultation is due to start.
Depending on certain medications which require our clinicians to have your up-to-date blood pressure readings, you may be required to submit a virtual blood pressure check, using your smartphone or device. We will provide you with full instructions, when this is required.
What happens during the remote video consultation?
During the consultation, the clinician will ask you a series of questions that will allow the clinician to assess your condition and potential treatment options for Menopause. At the end of the consultation, the clinician will decide which treatment options are safe and suitable option for you.
If it is, the clinician will discuss the treatment option, so that you can jointly agree on the treatment plan. Once you have jointly agreed on a treatment plan, the clinician will issue a prescription treatment for your Menopause which will be available in your Cart at the end of the consultation.
Also, with your consent, the clinician may wish to inform your doctor of the treatment that was prescribed. We recommend that you agree to this since your doctor is responsible for your overall care and they should have a record of this consultation and medication prescribed. In addition, our clinician may take the opportunity to advise you on your overall health including advice on healthy living or stop smoking.
What happens at the end of the Menopause consultation?
At the end of the consultation, you will receive a notification which will summarise the outcome. It will also advise you if any referrals were made to your doctor, along with any other advice that was given to you by the clinician.
If a referral letter was issued to your doctor, you will be able to view a copy of this in the ‘Documents’ section of the dashboard.
If you were prescribed a treatment, it will now be available in your Cart.
When you go to your Cart, you will be able to select the treatment, checkout and make payment. Once the checkout is complete, your prescription order will be sent to our regulated online pharmacy for processing.
What if the prescriber does not prescribe a treatment for Menopause?
We operate a safe prescribing service. This means that our prescribing clinicians always exercise their clinical judgment when prescribing . Unfortunately, we do not operate a self select service where you can choose a medication and simply buy. If the clinician that sees you does not prescribe anything, then you will not be charged.
Will I get status updates for my order?
Yes. When your Menopause treatment is approved, and after you have checked out and paid for your order, we will keep you fully updated with the status of your order. Every time the status of your order changes, you will be notified immediately. These notifications will appear in the ‘Notification Feed’ section on the dashboard.
How will my Menopause treatment be delivered?
All orders are shipped in discreet and unmarked packaging. This means it is suitable for delivery wherever you require (home, work, or a neighbour).
For thermo-sensitive orders (e.g. Insulin or weight loss injections) we use cold chain-validated packaging. Your parcel will normally receive an estimated delivery window from the courier on the day of delivery.
For your protection and safety, your first order can only be delivered to the address that is registered with NowPatient. Future orders can be delivered to any other address, for example, your workplace.
Do you ship cold-chain or temperature sensitive products?
Yes. We use a specialist courier service for all thermo-sensitive deliveries. This is to ensure that cold chain integrity is always maintained and thus the product quality, safety and efficacy.
Learn more about how we handle the delivery of temperature sensitive products.
Where do you deliver?
We currently deliver to all postcodes/zipcodes worldwide. Some postcodes in rural areas may have a slightly longer delivery time.
When will my order arrive?
We aim to ship all orders placed Monday – Friday before 3pm on the same day. Orders placed outside these times will be shipped the next working day. All deliveries are shipped by Royal Mail, which delivers Monday through Saturday in the UK. For deliveries outside of the UK, please check with your national postal service for accurate delivery days.
Our delivery options have the following delivery times:
- UK – Royal Mail Tracked 24 & Signed for Delivery – Next day delivery
- Europe – Royal Mail Tracked – Typical delivery of 3-5 working days
- Worldwide – Royal Mail – Typical delivery of 5-7 working days. If a tracked option is available for your country via Royal Mail, this service will be applied.
What should I do if my order has not arrived?
Delivery is normally made promptly after your dispatch notification is received. You can check the tracking details of your Menopause order in the ‘Notification Feed’ section of the dashboard, at any point after dispatch.
Unfortunately, packages can sometimes get lost in the delivery system. If after 10 days you have not received your delivery, please contact us and we will do all we can to resolve the problem.
Can you prescribe GLP-1 weight loss injections?
Yes. However, with GLP-1 weight loss medications, the license requires that there are support resources put in place as part of the plan including coaching for a healthy lifestyle, exercise, and diet. Our clinicians will discuss this with you, if you are prescribed this type of treatment.
You can learn more on our Weight Loss Programs feature page.
What’s included with my order?
If you are ordering a treatment for Menopause, your order will contain your medication only.
If you are ordering weight loss injections, your order will contain:
- Your prescription of pre-filled weight loss injection pens
- Needles
- Sharps bin for safe disposal of needles (if ordered as part of the bundle)
Can I reorder my medication, if I have already been prescribed a course?
Yes. However, as a responsible prescribing service, we do not issue more than one monthly cycle of medication at a time.
This means that, if you would like to reorder, you will need to rebook a consultation.
This is important, because it allows our clinicians to keep track on the progress of your treatment plan and ensure that the medication remains safe and effective for you.
What is the earliest I can reorder my medication or treatment?
14 days after you have received your first monthly supply of medication, we will send you a notification to advise you that you are eligible to reorder your medication. To ensure that we are able to safely prescribe the Menopause medication for the next supply, you will need to rebook a consultation.
This ensures that our clinician can check in on your treatment plan and ensure it is working as intended and continues to be safe, suitable and appropriate for you.
How do I reorder my Menopause?
When you are eligible to reorder your next Menopause prescription, we will send you a notification reminder. This notification reminder will request that you book a consultation with a NowPatient Clinician.
You should book a suitable time and date for the consultation.
At the end of the consultation, the clinician may advise you to either
- Stop the treatment
- Stay on the current dose
- Increase the dose
If our clinician deems it safe for you to continue the medication used to treat Menopause, the prescription will be added to your cart, from where you can checkout.
Delivery will be made in line with our delivery timescales.
As a responsible prescribing service, we will always monitor your Menopause treatment plan to ensure that it remains safe, effective and suitable for you.
How do I reorder weight loss medication?
Our weight loss programs are built to closely monitor treatment progress and safety. Please refer to the Weight Loss Programs Service Guide that explains how you can reorder or step edit your dose.
About Telehealth
Everything you need to know about video consultations
Watch the video below for a rundown of how NowPatient’s remote video consultations work:
Are remote video consultations right for me?
Remote video consultations or synchronous consultations are suitable for many patients who do not need a physical examination and who can communicate via video. Remote video consultations might not always be suitable – for example, if you need a test or physical examination. If that is the case, you will need to attend your doctor’s practice.
Although our Clinicians are clinically trained in various services that we provide, they are not a substitute for your doctor if you have a serious illness or life-threatening condition. If at any time during your remote video consultation, you feel that you would like to end that consultation, then you can say so and the consultation will be ended.
How do I know if the remote video consultation service is safe?
NowPatient has specific safeguards and protocols in place that ensures the service we provide you is safe, secure and effective. Our video technology platform is certified to the highest industry standards of data security and clinical governance.
Do I need to verify my identity during the remote video consultation?
Yes, for your safety and to ensure that the service we provide you, complies with regulations, our clinicians will request that you hold up your ID at the start of your virtual consultation to verify your identity.
Can I have a chaperone (carer, friend, family member) join a remote video consultation?
Yes. If they are in the same location as you, it is possible to have someone with you during your video consultation. You should let your clinician know if you have someone with you at the start of your appointment. You may be asked what relationship the chaperone has to you.
How can I be sure that you are handling and protecting my data securely?
We not only meet the UK and US standards for data security but we exceed them. We demonstrate this by regularly auditing our systems, both internally and externally.
Our various externally audited accreditations such as ISO27001, DTAC, DSPT, and Cyber Essentials + demonstrate our compliance with global security standards and should give you peace of mind.
How is my data stored?
NowPatient’s commitment to data residency is a key priority, and to that end, we only house data in validated data centers. We pledge that UK-based data remains solely in the UK, while US data is governed by HIPAA-prescribed data security protocols.
The data centers we use align with the highest standards of security and privacy, which is demonstrated by a programme of regular external audits to demonstrate the efficacy of safeguards against contemporary threats.
Are my consultations confidential?
Yes, we follow strict General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) which came into force in May 2018. This places legal requirements on ourselves to ensure your personal data is managed securely with the utmost confidentiality. Records are maintained of the processing that is carried out and reported when breaches of the regulation do occur. Our platform is also HIPAA compliant which means we are able to handle PHI (Personal Health Information) securely.
Can I select which clinician I have my consultation with?
Yes. NowPatient allows you to choose from a pool of clinicians based on competencies, gender and languages spoken.
Will my doctor be informed of any consultations I have through the app?
We recognize that your doctor is responsible for your overall care. Our clinicians will communicate with your doctor if they have concerns or recommendations that could be beneficial for your overall care. Referrals are only made upon your explicit consent or if they form part of the terms of service that you consent to.
Do remote video consultations save money for health systems?
The traditional healthcare model encourages patients with health concerns to visit their doctor or pharmacy to seek a consultation. NowPatient is the first remote video consultation service that connects patients to a multi-disciplinary team of clinicians.
It allows patients to book a consultation with a clinician from anywhere in the United Kingdom and the United States. Consultations can be conducted using a smartphone, tablet or PC.
Are remote video consultations safer than online questionnaires?
NowPatient only provides its services in real time over a live video feed. This is called synchronous telehealth. We believe it is the safest way for you to receive remote care because it is in real-time. It is especially beneficial in an emergency situation as the clinician and patient can visually see each other. The clinician can ask all the questions they need to make a diagnosis or build a treatment plan during the consultation. Equally, any concerns you have can be addressed at the point of consultation.
Some providers use a low-tech approach for conducting clinical services such as a questionnaire or quiz. Although it may be suitable for low-risk clinical services, it often means you will not have any face-to-face interaction nor be able to raise concerns about treatment or diagnosis, in real-time, with the clinician who is providing your care.
What quality of care can I expect to receive from a remote video consultation?
Your remote video consultation, conducted by a NowPatient clinician, will always seek to provide you with safe, high-quality care. Your health and well-being is our priority. We continuously monitor and assess the services we provide you to ensure that it is safe, effective, caring and well-led.
Why am I being asked to provide my Blood Pressure reading?
For certain treatments and services, our clinicians require you to provide your most up-to-date blood pressure reading. This is to ensure that the service or treatment being considered is both suitable and safe for you.
If I don’t have a Blood Pressure monitor, how can I provide my readings?
The NowPatient app uses a new approach to measuring blood pressure using your smartphone camera held in front of your face. It is the world’s only blood pressure check without a cuff or wearable.
Is the remote blood pressure monitor safe and medically accurate?
Yes. It Is classified as a Medical Device. It conforms to EU CE and UKCA Class I Medical Device standards. There is also an impending CE Class IIa conformity, expected in Q2 2025.
How does the remote blood pressure monitor actually work?
The diagram below outlines how NowPatient’s blood pressure reading works:
When and how is my remote blood pressure reading taken?
At the point of booking any service or treatment, we will let you know whether there are any requirements for an up-to-date blood pressure reading.
If you are required to give a reading, you will be guided through a series of simple steps.
What devices does the remote Blood Pressure monitor work on?
You will need a recent iOS or Android smartphone with a front-facing camera. It is not available for use on desktop devices.
Why do my results keep failing when using the remote blood pressure monitor service?
Possible reasons why results are not being generated include:
- Bad lighting – Make sure you are well-lit by diffuse lighting. Avoid strong shadows and uneven lighting.
- Unstabilised device – Ensure your device is kept still during the reading.
- Not remaining still – You must stay still during the reading and avoid talking.
- Poor Wi-Fi – The service requires a strong and stable Wi-Fi signal.
