Why use a Private Menopause Clinic?


Whilst many women receive menopause treatment from their GP, many women find they need more input than can be provided. Many NHS services are unable to provide the level of resources, time and choice that a private menopause clinic can. Specialist menopause services within the NHS are few and far between and often have extremely long waiting lists.

 

At Menopause Oracle we have the benefit of time to fully assess your symptoms, medical and family history and also to explore other contributory factors that may be exacerbating your symptoms. Our initial consultation is an hour long and we can run blood tests if we feel this is appropriate.

 

The menopause clinic is run within Oracle Clinics in Carlisle, Cumbria alongside Oracle Clinics and Oracle Dental.
