Menopause and perimenopause care in Vigo

Menopause is a natural stage of life, but its symptoms can have a big impact on your wellbeing. We listen, assess your situation and find the options that suit you best.

Common symptoms

During perimenopause — the years before your last period — and after menopause, it is common to have:

  • Irregular, heavier or less frequent periods.
  • Hot flushes and night sweats.
  • Sleep problems, tiredness and mood changes.
  • Vaginal dryness and discomfort during sex.
  • Urinary discomfort.

How we help

  • Assessment of your symptoms and medical history.
  • Advice on habits that ease symptoms and protect bone and heart health.
  • Hormonal and non-hormonal treatments, when appropriate and after weighing the benefits and risks with you.
  • Local treatments for vaginal dryness.
  • Follow-up to adjust treatment over time.

After menopause

Regular gynaecological check-ups remain important. Any vaginal bleeding after a full year without periods should always be checked.
