Which specialist performs non-hormonal menopause treatment?

This specialist reviews symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, sleep disruption, vaginal discomfort, or changes in mood. They may ask about medicines, menstrual changes, medical conditions, and personal factors that affect treatment choices. Non-hormonal care can include prescription medicines, local measures, behavioural approaches, and practical support, depending on the symptom and your health history.

A menopause-focused clinician may also help when symptoms overlap with thyroid problems, medication effects, anxiety, or other causes. The aim is to match the option to your symptoms and check whether follow-up is needed.

Book an appointment with an obstetrics and gynaecology specialist and take a short symptom record. Note when symptoms occur, what makes them worse, your sleep pattern, current medicines, and any previous treatment. Ask whether the proposed option is suitable alongside your existing care and how its effects will be reviewed.

Arrange prompt medical assessment for bleeding after menopause, bleeding that is heavy or persistent, new severe pelvic pain, chest pain, fainting, or sudden shortness of breath. Seek urgent help for severe breathing difficulty, collapse, or symptoms of a stroke such as new facial weakness, arm weakness, or trouble speaking. These warning signs need assessment rather than being attributed to menopause alone.

Which symptom is each option intended to treat? What side effects or interactions should I watch for? How long should I try it before reviewing the plan? Could another condition be contributing to these symptoms?
