Who we help
Menodoctor supports women at different stages of perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause, including women whose symptoms are affecting daily life, wellbeing, relationships, sleep or confidence.
You do not need to “wait until it gets worse”
Many women are told they are too young, that their symptoms are just stress, or that they need to wait until their periods stop completely before seeking help. That is not the case. If you are experiencing symptoms that could be related to hormonal change, it is reasonable to seek menopause-focused care.
We help women at different stages
Menopause care is not just for women in one narrow age group. Symptoms can begin earlier than expected, continue after periods stop, and affect women very differently.
Women noticing change before menopause
We help women who are still having periods, but are noticing changes such as poorer sleep, anxiety, brain fog, heavier or irregular periods, mood change, hot flushes or reduced resilience.
You do not need to have stopped having periods to seek help.
Women whose symptoms are affecting daily life
We help women whose symptoms are disrupting work, relationships, sleep, confidence, exercise, intimacy or overall quality of life.
This may include women who feel they are no longer coping as well as they used to, even if they are not sure whether hormones are part of the reason.
Women whose symptoms continue after periods stop
We also help women who are postmenopausal and still dealing with symptoms such as hot flushes, poor sleep, low mood, vaginal dryness, painful sex, urinary symptoms, fatigue or loss of wellbeing.
Age alone does not determine whether we can help
While menopause symptoms are most common in the 40s and 50s, many women seek help earlier and some continue to need support well beyond that.
Women in their 30s, 40s and 50s
Many of our patients first come to us in their late 30s or 40s when symptoms begin to appear but are not yet clearly recognised as perimenopause.
Others come in their 50s when symptoms become more disruptive or when they want help understanding treatment options.
Women in their 60s, 70s, 80s and beyond
Some women continue to experience menopause-related symptoms for many years, while others seek help later because symptoms such as vaginal dryness, painful sex, sleep disruption or recurrent urinary issues become more noticeable over time.
Common reasons women come to us
Not every woman experiences menopause in the same way. Some women have classic symptoms, while others have less obvious changes that still have a major impact.
Hot flushes and night sweats
Symptoms that disrupt comfort, sleep and confidence.
Sleep, fatigue and brain fog
Women who feel exhausted, mentally flat or not like themselves.
Mood, anxiety and overwhelm
Women noticing increased anxiety, irritability, low mood or reduced resilience.
Periods and hormonal change
Women with irregular, changing, heavier or unpredictable periods.
Low libido and intimacy concerns
Women experiencing reduced libido, vaginal dryness or painful sex.
Joint, muscle or body changes
Women noticing aches, body discomfort, weight change or lower recovery.
Work and daily functioning
Women whose symptoms are affecting concentration, performance or day-to-day functioning.
Not feeling like yourself
Women who simply know something has changed and want clear answers.
We also help women with more complex histories
Some women need menopause care that takes extra account of their medical history, risk factors or previous treatment experiences.
Women who have had previous cancer
We support women who have had previous cancer, including breast cancer, and want menopause care that is thoughtful, individualised and based on their specific history.
This can include women wanting to better understand which options may or may not be appropriate for them, and what questions to ask moving forward.
Many women also want clearer guidance around menopause symptoms after cancer treatment and a more tailored discussion of symptom management options.
Women with other medical considerations
We also help women whose care needs to take into account other health factors, medications, previous treatment responses or uncertainty around the best next step.
The goal is to provide clear, evidence-based guidance tailored to the individual woman.
