Here at Newson Clinic, we take a holistic approach to hormonal health by ensuring care is individualised through shared decision making. This encompasses optimising the hormones, progesterone, oestradiol (the beneficial form of oestrogen) and testosterone, and includes considering contraceptive needs where required.
Progesterone, oestradiol and testosterone influence reproductive health, mood, metabolism, and overall wellbeing. Fluctuations and low levels of these hormones can lead to a range of symptoms as well as increasing future risks of diseases. There are various life stages during which changing hormones can have an impact, including when you are having menstrual periods, during and after a pregnancy, in perimenopause and menopause.
We provide support, advice and hormone treatments for our patients using evidence-based research and a wealth of clinical experience to make women feel better and reduce the risk of future disease at every life stage.
Works with oestrogen to support the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. It can also affect mood and sleep.
Changing or low hormone levels can manifest as changes to periods, low mood, anxiety, memory problems, reduced energy, poor sleep, muscle and joint pains, headaches, weight gain, skin changes, mood swings, and changes in libido. A list of common symptoms can be found in our symptom questionnaire.
Every woman can experience symptoms differently and symptoms can come and go, making it difficult sometimes to join the dots. The symptom tracker in the Balance app can help.
Hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle can cause Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) and Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). The brains of some women are much more sensitive to the hormonal fluctuations seen at this life stage and this can manifest as reproductive depression, which can predispose women to recurrence of symptoms after pregnancy and during perimenopause and menopause too.
Conditions such as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), functional hypothalamic amenorrhoea and endometriosis can become evident during this time too. As can Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI).
Hormone changes during pregnancy can mean that many women feel very well as a result of high hormone levels. The sudden decline in hormones after pregnancy, and often for many months beyond this until menstruation returns, can contribute to postnatal depression (PND).
The decline in progesterone, oestradiol and testosterone levels during perimenopause and menopause can cause low mood, anxiety, brain fog, poor sleep, reduced stamina, hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings, and other symptoms.
When to seek medical advice:
If you are experiencing any symptoms that you think could be related to your hormones or you simply want to discuss the health benefits of hormones or your contraceptive needs, then you can make an appointment with one of our clinicians.
At Newson Clinic, we consult with women experiencing symptoms of PMS, PMDD, PND, PCOS and POI, in addition to perimenopause and menopause who are over the age of 18 years to understand their unique experience of hormonal health and explore any treatment options with them. This may include, but is not limited to, lifestyle adjustments, hormone treatments, and where appropriate, other medical interventions.
Newson Clinic offer hormonal assessments through venous blood sampling, which can also include other markers of overall health. We can provide DEXA bone density scans too. We do not offer DUTCH testing of saliva and/or urine at this time as it is not an evidence-based approach to hormonal health.
If you are unclear about whether we might be able to help you, we would encourage you to contact our friendly team who will be able to guide you.
