Menopausal Health Check-Up in London

The Menopausal Health Check-Up package costs £900. This includes a consultation with a consultant gynaecologist, gynaecology ultrasound scanning, a full history and pelvic examination, blood pressure assessment, cervical smear and HPV testing, sexual health review, a blood test panel, and a results review consultation. Breast screening and a bone density scan are available at an additional cost if needed.

This package is designed for women affected by the menopause, typically from the age of 45, who are seeking medical advice and screening. It is intended to screen for the early signs of menopause symptoms, such as hot flushes and irregular periods. If you have been searching for a menopause health check near you, this package brings the consultation, screening tests and results review together in one place.

The package includes a full history and pelvic examination, blood pressure assessment, cervical smear (PAP test) with HPV testing, a sexual health review, and swab tests for sexually transmitted infections. It also includes a blood test panel screening for haemoglobin, thyroid function, HbA1c, vitamin D, a fasting lipid (cholesterol) profile, CA125, U&E, liver function, oestradiol and testosterone. Breast and bone density screening are available at additional cost.

No referral is needed to book your menopausal health check-up. You can arrange your appointment directly through our booking page or by calling the clinic. If your results raise any concerns, we can arrange a referral letter for your GP and, where appropriate, refer you to a private hospital or specialist of your choice.

You will receive your ultrasound report shortly after your appointment via our secure cloud system. Blood tests are processed by our partner laboratory, TDL, in London and can take 10 to 15 days. Once your results are ready, we arrange a 10-minute Zoom or phone consultation to interpret them and discuss the next steps.

Yes. We are happy to send your results to your GP and arrange any further referrals as appropriate. If the check-up raises any concerns about your health, we will prepare a referral letter explaining our findings and diagnosis for your GP, and we can also refer you to a private hospital, a specialist of your choice, or a trusted expert from our network of colleagues.

Often the very first sign is a change in the pattern of your periods — cycles may become shorter, longer, heavier or less predictable before they eventually stop. Hot flushes and night sweats tend to follow, and some women notice sleep problems, mood changes or difficulty concentrating quite early in the transition. These changes can begin during the perimenopause, while you are still having periods, and there is a fuller list of common symptoms earlier on this page.

The perimenopause is the transition leading up to the menopause, when your hormone levels fluctuate and symptoms such as hot flushes and irregular periods begin — often while you are still having periods. The menopause is the point at which your periods have stopped altogether, and it is usually confirmed once you have gone 12 months without a period, provided you are not using hormonal contraception, which can mask your periods. The years after this are sometimes called the postmenopause.

In the UK, the average age to reach the menopause is around 51, and it usually happens between the ages of 45 and 55. When the menopause occurs before the age of 45 it is described as early, and before 40 as premature. If your periods stop earlier than you expected, it is worth speaking to a healthcare professional, as an earlier menopause can have implications for your long-term health.

For most women over 45 who have typical symptoms, the menopause is diagnosed from symptoms and menstrual history rather than a blood test, in line with NICE guidance. Hormone blood tests, such as FSH, can be more useful for younger women, in whom the picture is less clear. The blood panel in this check-up looks more broadly at your health — including thyroid function, cholesterol and vitamin D — as part of a full assessment rather than as a single menopause test.

Yes, it can — which is why this check-up looks beyond your immediate symptoms. The package includes a blood pressure assessment and a fasting lipid (cholesterol) profile, two of the key measures used to build a picture of your heart and circulatory health. If your consultant feels it would be useful — for example, after an early menopause — a bone density scan for osteoporosis can be arranged at additional cost. Your consultant can also talk through practical steps that support bone and heart health at this stage of life, and explain anything in your results that needs a closer look.

Yes — a cervical smear (PAP test) with HPV testing is a standard part of the package, taken by your consultant gynaecologist during your examination. The test involves gently collecting a small sample of cells from the cervix, which is then tested, including for HPV. Cervical screening remains important during and after the menopause, so the appointment is a convenient opportunity to keep yours up to date. If screening is all you need, you can read more about our standalone cervical smear test.

Yes. Your consultation is with a consultant gynaecologist, so there is time to talk through how your symptoms are affecting you and what your options are, including hormone replacement therapy (HRT) where it may be appropriate. The package includes arrangement for a prescription and onward referral if required, and because your examination findings and blood results are reviewed together, any discussion about treatment is grounded in a full picture of your health. Decisions about HRT are individual — your consultant will weigh your symptoms, medical history and preferences with you before recommending anything.
