The Kent Menopause and HRT Clinic run by Miss Anne Henderson, Consultant Gynaecologist, is an innovative clinic and one of the few dedicated clinics available in the South East outside London, The clinic is able to offer a fully comprehensive service to women following a private or self-pay referral.

Effective management will be available not only to those women experiencing classical menopausal problems, but also to women suffering a premature menopause, including BRCA cases.  One of the key features is that it permits women to have dedicated time with an expert gynaecologist to discuss their concerns, with access to a full range of state-of-the-art diagnostics, thereby enabling the most appropriate treatment plan to be provided.

Each woman’s experience of the menopause is unique and therefore a “one size fits all approach” to managing the menopause does not work effectively. The age at which symptoms begin, together with their severity and the length of time it can take to pass through the menopause will vary greatly from woman to woman.  The menopause is the time when a woman stops producing eggs and which can herald significant hormonal and physical changes. Symptoms include flushes, sweats, tiredness, lack of sleep, headaches, memory and cognitive changes, mood lability and anxiety, vaginal dryness and sexual problems.  Modern HRT regimes are extremely effective at controlling these problems and the impact can be quite literally life-changing.
