HRT Consultation
Menopause shouldn’t diminish who you are. The physical changes, mood swings, and overwhelming fatigue can make you feel like a shadow of yourself. At Dr N Clinics, Dr Nugwa offers comprehensive HRT consultations to help you navigate this transition with expert medical support. Hormone replacement therapy can restore your vitality, relieve uncomfortable symptoms, and help you feel human again. You deserve to thrive during menopause, not just survive it. With proper guidance and personalised treatment, feeling like yourself is absolutely achievable.
What is HRT Consultation
HRT consultation is a thorough medical appointment where Dr Nugwa assesses your menopausal symptoms and discusses hormone replacement therapy options. Menopause brings numerous changes that significantly impact quality of life. Hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings, low energy, brain fog, and physical aches are just some of the symptoms women experience. Changes in the reproductive area, sleep disturbances, and feeling emotionally drained add to the burden. Many women describe feeling washed out, lethargic, and not themselves. HRT consultation provides time to discuss these symptoms properly, not the rushed 10 or 15 minute GP appointments. Dr Nugwa spends at least 30 minutes understanding your specific situation, medical history, and concerns. Together, you’ll develop a management plan that may include HRT alongside other approaches to help you feel better.

What can I expect from my consultation?
The initial HRT consultation thoroughly explores your menopausal experience. Dr Nugwa asks about all symptoms affecting you, from hot flushes and sleep problems to mood changes and physical discomfort. She reviews your medical history to ensure HRT is safe and appropriate for you.
Together, you’ll discuss HRT options including different hormone types, delivery methods, and what suits your lifestyle. Dr Nugwa explains benefits and risks honestly, helping you make informed decisions. You’ll leave with a clear management plan outlining your HRT prescription, how to use it, and what to expect. Regular follow-up consultations ensure your treatment remains appropriate and effective. Dr Nugwa monitors your response, adjusts dosing as needed, and addresses any concerns. The relationship is ongoing, supporting you through this entire life phase rather than providing one-off advice.
