The Advanced Menopause MOT
How well do you really know your health?
Perhaps you know something has changed.
You're more tired. Your sleep isn't what it used to be. Your weight has shifted. Your brain feels foggy. Your mood is different. Your periods have changed, or disappeared altogether.
Maybe you're already taking HRT but you're wondering whether you're on the right treatment.
Or perhaps you simply want to know that you're doing everything you can to look after your health as you move through your 40s, 50s and beyond.
The Advanced Menopause MOT is your opportunity to take stock.
We'll take a comprehensive look at your health, investigate some of the common factors that can contribute to symptoms in midlife, and help you understand what you can do now to feel better and protect your future health.
Advanced Menopause MOT — £795
OCTOBER SPECIAL: Your Cardiovascular Health Assessment is included at no additional cost.
what's included?
Menopause is about more than hot flushes
Menopause can affect almost every part of the body.
Sleep. Mood. Memory. Bones. Muscles. Metabolism. Vaginal and urinary health. Sexual wellbeing.
And importantly, the years around menopause are also an opportunity to think about your longer-term health.
That's why we created the Advanced Menopause MOT.
Rather than looking at one symptom in isolation, we'll help you build a much broader picture of what's happening in your body.
Because sometimes symptoms that get blamed on menopause can have other contributing factors too.
And you deserve more than being told:
“It's probably just your hormones.”
Comprehensive Advanced Blood Testing
We'll arrange a comprehensive blood panel looking at important markers relevant to your health and symptoms in midlife.
Depending on the clinical assessment, this can include areas such as:
- Full blood count
- Iron and ferritin
- Vitamin B12 and folate
- Vitamin D
- Thyroid function
- Blood sugar/HbA1c
- Cholesterol and lipid profile
- Liver function
- Kidney function
- Relevant hormonal markers where clinically appropriate
The purpose isn't simply to generate a page full of numbers.
It's to help us understand your bigger health picture.
Your Phlebotomy Appointment
Your blood-taking appointment is included in the package.
No trying to persuade your GP to organise a long list of tests.
No wondering which tests you should request.
We'll organise the blood testing for you and around your schedule and preference.
Results Review With a Women's Health Doctor
Once your results are available, you'll have a dedicated 60-minute appointment with one of our women's health doctors.
We'll bring together:
your symptoms + your medical history + your blood results + your menopause journey
and talk through what they mean for you.
This is also your opportunity to discuss issues such as:
- Perimenopause and menopause symptoms
- HRT
- Existing HRT that doesn't seem to be working
- Contraception in perimenopause
- Sleep
- Mood and anxiety
- Brain fog and concentration
- Fatigue
- Weight and metabolic changes
- Vaginal and urinary symptoms
- Sexual wellbeing
- Bone health
- Nutrition, movement and lifestyle
- Your future health
Where appropriate, we'll discuss treatment options and any further investigations or referrals that may be helpful.
October Bonus: Cardiovascular Health Assessment
Because menopause isn't only about how you feel today.
Cardiovascular health becomes particularly important as women move through midlife.
That's why, throughout October, we're including a Cardiovascular Health Assessment with every Advanced Menopause MOT at no additional cost (worth £100)
We'll look at relevant cardiovascular risk factors alongside your blood results and health history, helping you understand where you are now and what you can do to support your future health.
Because knowing your cholesterol is useful.
Understanding what it means for you is better.
Why Us?
Women's health isn't an add-on for us.
It's what we do.
The Female Health Doctor Clinic is a CQC-registered private women's health clinic providing specialist, doctor-led care.
We understand that women in midlife don't always fit neatly into one box.
Your fatigue might sit alongside changing periods.
Your sleep might sit alongside anxiety.
Your weight might sit alongside metabolic changes.
Your vaginal symptoms might sit alongside changes in your sex life.
And your menopause symptoms exist alongside the rest of your health.
We look at the woman — not just the symptom.

What's happening in my body?
Could anything other than menopause be contributing to how I feel?
Are there areas of my health I need to pay attention to?
Would HRT or another treatment be appropriate for me?
What should I actually do next?
The goal isn't to find something wrong.
It's to give you the information and confidence to make informed decisions about your health.
Make this the month you check in with yourself.
Women spend an enormous amount of their lives looking after everybody else.
October — and World Menopause Month — is a pretty good excuse to put your own health on the list.
Not because you're falling apart.
Not because ageing is something that needs fixing.
But because understanding your health gives you choices.
Your body is changing.
Let's understand what it needs next.
