Frequently asked questions

• What are the symptoms of Menopause?

  Depending on their severity, some menopausal symptoms can have a substantial effect on a woman’s day-to-day life.

  These symptoms can include:

  • Hot flushes
  • Vaginal dryness, leading to discomfort during sex
  • Insomnia and night sweats
  • Reduced libido
  • Anxiety and inability to focus
  • Issues with memory

• At what age does Menopause start?

  For British women, the average age of menopause is 51. The normal range is between the ages of 45 and 55.

  Levels of oestrogen production begin slowly to decline in a woman’s thirties, and so it is common to experience early menopausal symptoms while still having regular periods. The duration and severity of these early symptoms vary greatly between individual women.

• When I take antibiotics I sometimes get thrush, why does this happen?

  Thrush is caused when the naturally occurring yeast, Candida Albicans, overgrows in the vagina. This usually happens after a course of antibiotics because they reduce bacteria in the vagina that regulate the yeast. As the candida over grows the symptoms of thrush develop. This is completely normal and is easy to treat with a Fluconazole 150mg Capsule.

• What Is vaginal atrophy and how does Gina help?

  Vaginal atrophy is a common condition associated with all stages of the menopause, and occurs as a result of your body making less of the hormone, oestrogen. This drop in hormone levels can cause symptoms including vaginal thinning, dryness and inflammation. Your vaginal wall may also become less flexible. All of these changes can result in discomfort, itching, or pain during sex or when going to the toilet.

  Gina provides targeted relief by gently replacing some of the oestrogen with estradiol. This eases dryness, reduces inflammation and helps your vaginal wall stay healthy and moist. Since Gina is a vaginal pessary, it releases the estradiol directly where it’s needed, avoiding much of the active ingredient affecting the rest of your body.

  It can take a little while for Gina to get to work, but you should start to notice an improvement in your symptoms within a few weeks.

• What Is Ovesse Vaginal Oestrogen?

  Ovesse is a localised form of HRT for post-menopausal people. It works by replacing the oestrogen that would have been produced by your ovaries and helps to resolve symptoms of ‘Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause' such as vaginal dryness, itching, soreness and pain during sex.
