What Really Happens During Menopause and Perimenopause
Menopause is a completely natural stage of life but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. For many women the transition through perimenopause brings a wave of physical and emotional changes that can affect energy, confidence and wellbeing.
These hormonal shifts, especially changes in estrogen and progesterone, can influence almost every system in the body. You might notice:
- Hot flushes or night sweats
- Irregular or heavy periods
- Mood swings, anxiety or low mood
- Poor sleep and fatigue
- Brain fog or forgetfulness
- Vaginal dryness or discomfort
- Reduced libido
- Weight changes
- Skin and hair changes
Menopause Support with Jodie
Our menopause care and womens’ health treatments are led by Jodie, our Registered Midwife and Medical Aesthetic Practitioner. With years of experience supporting women through every stage of life, Jodie takes a caring, holistic approach that looks at both your symptoms and your overall wellbeing.
Every consultation is completely confidential and gives you time to talk about how you are feeling, from hot flushes to mood changes or intimate health concerns. Together, we will create a plan that’s right for you.
Hormone Testing and Wellness Support
Understanding your hormone levels can make all the difference when managing menopause, that’s why we offer blood tests including full menopause profiling to help identify hormonal imbalances and guide treatment choices.
Jodie may also recommend:
- Vitamin B12 injections to help with fatigue
- Lifestyle advice to support sleep, mood and overall wellbeing
- Guidance on next steps, including onward referral or continued clinic care
Intimate Wellness Treatments
Hormonal changes can also affect intimate health, something many women experience but few talk about openly. Vaginal dryness, discomfort and other symptoms are common after menopause, but they are treatable.
At Helen Hunt Medical Aesthetics we offer safe, effective medical treatments to help restore comfort and confidence:
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) for Intimate Wellness
Uses your own blood’s growth factors to naturally rejuvenate and hydrate vaginal tissue, improving sensitivity and tissue strength.
Radiofrequency (RF) Rejuvenation
A non surgical treatment that uses gentle heat to tighten and hydrate tissue, improving tone, elasticity and overall comfort.
For women experiencing pain or tightness during intimacy, muscle relaxing injections can reduce pelvic muscle spasms and restore comfort.
All treatments are performed by Jodie in a discreet, supportive setting.
Taking Back Control of Your Health
Menopause can feel like a loss of control. Whether you are struggling with symptoms, changes in intimacy or simply want clarity about your hormones, we are here to help.
Book a confidential consultation with Jodie at either our Exeter or Honiton clinics to find the right support and treatments for you.
