Menopause and HRT Consultations in Chichester
Compassionate, expert-led support through perimenopause and menopause. Dr Georgina Hughes provides thorough assessments, honest HRT discussions and ongoing monitoring tailored to you.
Perimenopause & Menopause Symptoms
The transition through perimenopause and menopause affects every woman differently. Symptoms can begin years before your periods stop and vary widely in type and severity. We take the time to understand your full symptom picture rather than focusing on any single sign.
- Irregular or changing periods
- Hot flushes and night sweats
- Mood changes, anxiety or low mood
- Sleep disruption and fatigue
- Brain fog and poor concentration
- Changes in libido
- Vaginal dryness and discomfort
- Joint aches and headaches
HRT Discussions & Treatment Suitability
HRT can be highly effective, but it isn't right for everyone. Your consultation includes an honest, balanced discussion of the potential benefits and risks based on your individual circumstances, so you can make a fully informed decision.
- An individualised assessment of the benefits and risks of HRT for you
- HRT suitability based on your medical history and current health
- Non-hormonal alternatives where HRT isn't appropriate
- Lifestyle and wellbeing guidance to support your symptoms
- Clear information so you can make an informed choice
Medical History Review & Blood Testing
A careful review of your personal and family medical history underpins safe, personalised care. Blood tests are arranged only where clinically relevant — to confirm the hormonal picture, check baseline health before treatment, or rule out other causes for your symptoms.
- Personal and family medical history
- Current medications and past treatments
- Blood pressure and baseline health checks
- Blood tests where clinically relevant (e.g. hormone levels, thyroid, iron)
- Consideration of other possible causes for your symptoms
Follow-Up Monitoring
Menopause care is ongoing. Follow-up reviews let us assess how you are responding, monitor for safety and side effects, and adjust your treatment plan over time — including long-term support for bone and cardiovascular health.
- Scheduled follow-up reviews
- Assessment of symptom response
- Monitoring for safety and side effects
- Adjustments to your treatment plan
- Long-term health support for bone and cardiovascular wellbeing

- Highly effective contraception for up to eight years
- Relief from heavy periods
- The progesterone component of HRT for some women
- Fitting and aftercare at the clinic
