Perimenopause and Menopause Health Assessment

  • A physical check, including blood pressure, height, and weight
  • Referrals for tests (if needed), such as cervical screening, mammography, or bone health
  • Information on treatment and management options, including lifestyle advice

These services aim to provide earlier support and improve quality of life.
