Menopause Care in London
Personalised support for every stage of the menopause transition
At Alma Fertility, we understand that the menopause is a significant milestone in every woman’s life, and no two experiences are the same. Led by Dr Kate Maclaran, consultant gynaecologist and accredited menopause specialist, we provide compassionate, evidence-based care for women navigating the perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause years.
Our approach combines expert medical guidance with personalised treatment plans, giving you the knowledge and confidence to manage symptoms and protect your long-term health.
What is the Menopause?
The menopause marks the end of natural menstrual cycles, usually diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a period. It typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, although some women experience it earlier due to premature ovarian insufficiency (POI).
Many women also experience perimenopause, the years leading up to menopause, when hormone fluctuations can cause a range of symptoms.
Common Menopause Symptoms
Every woman’s experience is unique, but typical symptoms include:
-
Hot flushes and night sweats
-
Irregular periods or changes in cycle length
-
Sleep disturbances and fatigue
-
Mood changes, anxiety, or low mood
-
Reduced libido and vaginal dryness
-
Memory or concentration difficulties (“brain fog”)
-
Joint pain and muscle stiffness
While some symptoms may be mild, others can have a significant impact on quality of life.

FAQ
When should I seek medical help for menopause?
If symptoms are interfering with your daily life, sleep, relationships, or work, professional support can make a significant difference.
Is HRT safe?
For most women, HRT is safe and effective. During your consultation we will discuss the benefits and risks, tailoring treatment to your medical history.
Can I still get pregnant during the menopause?
During the perimenopause, it is still possible to conceive until periods have completely stopped for 12 months. If pregnancy prevention is important, contraception should be considered.
What if I have premature menopause?
Women who experience menopause before age 40 (POI) need specialist care to protect their long-term bone, heart, and hormonal health. Alma Fertility provides expert guidance in this area.
