From the onset of periods, through to menopause, and the Golden Years (if you have a better idea for a name let me know), women have many different health needs.

These may include:

• premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
• heavy or painful periods 
• irregular cycles 
• concerns about fertility
• contraception
• mood changes, hot flushes and insomnia in the perimenopause
• premenstrual dysphoric disorder (a subtype of PMS which can include symptoms of significant anxiety and depression in the days and weeks leading up to a period)

I am happy to discuss with you any of your concerns, and help you to manage any troublesome symptoms.
