Menopause Management
At Medsana Medical Clinic, we recognise that menopause is a difficult time for some women. We can guide you through this change of life with care and compassion, whilst providing up-to-date information on nutrition, exercise, hormone therapy and other forms of treatment if required.
Low libido, also known as hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD), is a condition characterised by a lack of sexual desire or interest in sexual activity. It is a common problem that can affect postmenopausal women and can be caused by a variety of factors, including psychological issues, physical health problems, hormonal imbalances, and relationship problems.
Symptoms of low libido can include a decreased interest in sex, difficulty becoming aroused, and a lack of sexual fantasies or thoughts. It can also cause distress, anxiety, and relationship problems.
Treatment for low libido depends on the underlying cause of the problem. In some cases, lifestyle changes such as exercise, a healthy diet, and stress reduction techniques can help improve libido. Counselling or therapy may be recommended for individuals with psychological issues, while hormone therapy may be necessary for those with hormonal imbalances.
Medications like private prescription hormone creams may also be prescribed in postmenopausal women if other treatments have not worked. Part of the workup requires baseline testosterone and SHBG to be measured.
PCOS or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Our doctors are experienced in helping women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and the associated symptoms of weight gain, acne, increased hair, irregular periods and infertility.
PCOS is a common problem that is under-diagnosed, our doctors are passionate about helping diagnose and treat any concerns you may have to do with your periods or hormones.
Cervical Screening
