How Menopause Hormone Therapy Can Manage Your Symptoms

8 April 2018 | Ahmed Al Saraf

Menopause Hormone Therapy in London

Menopause is a natural stage of life, yet the transition can be challenging. Hot flushes, erratic sleep, mood swings and a dip in confidence can make it feel as though your body and mind are not working together. If this is how you feel, you are not alone. You do not have to simply get on with it.

At Omniya Clinic in Knightsbridge, we offer evidence based Hormone Replacement Therapy for women with personalised care that helps you restore balance, energy and clarity.

Understanding Menopause and Perimenopause

Menopause is confirmed after 12 consecutive months without a period. Perimenopause is the transitional phase that can begin in your forties when hormones start to fluctuate and symptoms appear. The pattern and severity vary, which is why tailored support matters.

Common Symptoms We See

  • Hot flushes and night sweats
  • Irregular or heavy periods before they stop completely
  • Mood swings, anxiety and low mood
  • Brain fog, memory lapses and reduced concentration
  • Weight changes and a slower metabolism
  • Vaginal dryness or discomfort during sex
  • Loss of libido
  • Joint aches and thinning hair

 

Falling levels of oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone drive many of these changes. Lifestyle strategies can help, but for persistent or severe symptoms, hormone therapy is often the most effective option.

How Hormone Therapy Works

Hormone therapy gently restores hormones your body no longer produces in sufficient amounts. By re balancing oestrogen and, when appropriate, progesterone and testosterone, treatment can:

  • Reduce hot flushes and night sweats
  • Improve sleep quality and stabilise sleep patterns
  • Ease anxiety and lift low mood
  • Boost energy, mental clarity and motivation
  • Support libido and sexual comfort
  • Protect long term bone and heart health

 

Many women describe the change as a weight lifting. Learn more about the science in How HRT Works.

Personalised Treatment at Omniya

There is no one size fits all approach to menopause care. Your treatment is shaped around your symptoms, history and goals.

Your Initial Consultation

  • Comprehensive review of symptoms, medical history and lifestyle
  • Targeted hormone testing where appropriate
  • Clear discussion of options, including standard and bioidentical HRT
  • A bespoke plan that may include oestrogen alone or a combination with progesterone and or testosterone

 

Our clinicians monitor your progress and adjust your plan so it evolves with you. Explore our Female HRT treatments for a detailed overview.

Beyond Hormones: Whole Health Support

Menopause can affect every part of life. Our care extends beyond prescriptions to support your overall wellbeing.

  • Nutrition and supplements. Practical diet strategies and targeted nutrients to support bone and cardiovascular health.
  • Lifestyle coaching. Small changes to exercise, sleep and stress management can improve results.
  • Integrated care. Where helpful, we coordinate with related services such as Thyroid Therapy and Real Biological Age Testing for a fuller picture.

 

Mental and Emotional Wellbeing

Brain fog, dips in motivation and a sense of not feeling like yourself are common. With the right hormone support, patients often report sharper thinking, steadier mood and renewed confidence. You should feel like yourself again, not a passenger in your own life.

Why Women Choose Omniya Clinic

  • Evidence based, clinician led care
  • Standard and bioidentical options with careful dose adjustment
  • Regular reviews to keep treatment aligned with your goals
  • Discreet Knightsbridge location with a calm, private setting
  • Holistic options under one roof, including Weight Management Support

 

When to Start Hormone Therapy

There is no single right time. Some women begin during perimenopause when symptoms first appear. Others start after periods have stopped. Early intervention can reduce symptom severity, protect bone density and support heart health. If you are unsure, a consultation will help you weigh the benefits and any risks for your individual situation.

Safety and Monitoring

HRT is one of the most studied treatments in medicine. For most healthy women under 60, the benefits outweigh potential risks when therapy is tailored and regularly reviewed.

  • We check blood pressure, weight and relevant health markers
  • We review your plan at agreed intervals
  • We adjust promptly if side effects occur

What to Expect After You Start

  • Timeline. Some improvements appear within a few weeks. Full benefits may take up to three months as your plan is optimised.
  • Follow up. We schedule reviews to check progress and make any dose changes.
  • Results. Patients commonly report better sleep, fewer flushes, improved mood and clearer thinking. Many also find it easier to maintain a healthy weight with supportive lifestyle changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will HRT make me gain weight

Weight change is more closely linked to ageing and lifestyle. Correcting hormone imbalance can support a healthy metabolism. We can also discuss practical nutrition and activity strategies.

Can I use HRT if I still have periods

Yes. Many perimenopausal women benefit from carefully balanced therapy that accounts for cycle changes.

Is bioidentical HRT different from standard HRT

Bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to the hormones your body produces. We offer both options and will recommend what is appropriate for your medical history and goals.

How long will I need to stay on HRT

Duration is individual. Some women use HRT for a few years to manage symptoms. Others continue longer for symptom control and protective benefits. We review regularly so you can make an informed choice.

Next Steps

Menopause is not something to endure. With the right guidance, this can be a time of strength, clarity and renewed wellbeing.
