A 10-part series exploring the causes, symptoms, and treatments for Menopause.  Keep an eye out for the next information post…

What can I do to help myself, or someone I know experiencing Menopause?

 

Good opportunity to have a General Health check:

  • Weight
  • Blood pressure
  • Other symptoms
  • Examination
  • FBC – check anaemia (via GP/privately)
  • Thyroid function tests
  • Vitamin d levels
  • GP/Specialists rarely perform hormone tests – might do if age 40 but not 49 due to likely fluctuations.
  • Smear test/mammogram
  • Poor sleep with menopause so improving sleep/sleep hygiene can help.

Bury Physio offers a Health MOT to check heart rate, blood pressure, cholesterol, BMI, weight, and functional fitness tests.  After analysing your results, we will further advise you on the most appropriate exercise and/or management programme/treatment to improve any scores that fall short of age specific norms.  For additional menopause related tests, we can refer to your GP.
