Initial Testosterone Consultation
Package Overview | £255
This 45-minute consultation is designed for women already on a stable Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) plan who are considering testosterone supplementation to further optimise their health during menopause.
The session is tailored to provide a comprehensive understanding of the role of testosterone in menopause, how it can be beneficial, and how it integrates with an existing HRT plan.
What’s Included:
-
Detailed Consultation: A thorough discussion about testosterone therapy, its uses, and how it can improve symptoms commonly experienced during menopause such as fatigue, low libido, mood swings, and decreased muscle mass.
-
Private Prescriptions: If appropriate, your GP will provide a private prescription for testosterone to address your specific needs.
-
Follow-up GP Letter: After the consultation and blood test results, a detailed letter from the GP will be sent outlining the recommendations and treatment plan, including any follow-up or adjustments to your HRT.
Benefits of the Appointment:
-
Improved Energy and Vitality:
Testosterone therapy can help reduce fatigue and increase energy levels, supporting overall well-being and enhancing day-to-day functionality.
-
Enhanced Libido:
Testosterone supplementation has been shown to improve sexual desire and response, which can be impacted by hormonal changes during menopause.
-
Mood Stabilisation:
Many women report improvements in mood and a reduction in irritability, anxiety, and depressive symptoms with testosterone supplementation.
-
Increased Muscle Strength and Mass:
Testosterone helps maintain muscle strength, tone, and bone health, which can be affected during menopause, promoting overall physical health and fitness.
-
Cognitive Clarity and Mental Sharpness:
Testosterone may help improve memory, focus, and mental clarity, often helping women feel more cognitively sharp and alert.
-
Holistic Menopause Management:
This appointment is a comprehensive part of managing your menopause symptoms, helping to ensure a balanced hormonal approach for both short-term relief and long-term health benefits.
£255*
*A blood test is required to assess your testosterone levels and confirm that treatment is appropriate. This must be carried out via a venous blood draw; finger-prick tests are not accepted. Finger-prick tests are not sufficiently accurate for clinical decision-making in menopause care.
The blood test costs £110 in addition to the consultation.*
