About
Appointment Overview:
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.
Blood Test:
A blood test will be conducted to assess current testosterone levels and ensure that the therapy is suitable for you. This will help the GP make a tailored treatment recommendation.
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:

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:
