Our doctors are a group with higher than average knowledge and experience in menopausal treatments, however they are General Practitioners: not endocrinologists, gynaecologists, haematologists or psychiatrists.

There is often a hormonal component of symptoms around the menopausal transition, but usually there are many other contributing factors. If symptoms do not respond to hormonal treatments, then you will need to visit your regular local doctor who can investigate other potential causes or contributors.

No. It can be discussed in the context of your menopausal transition, including the possible contributors and management strategies. However, for weight loss medication you will need to consult a medical prescriber (such as your local GP) in person for a full assessment and examination. WellFemme does offer Health Coaching support which includes weight management via our Nursing Services.
Medico-legally, WellFemme doctors can only prescribe medications related to your peri/ menopause care, and only after a full assessment of your symptoms and medical history. It is potentially unsafe for them to re-prescribe medications that were prescribed elsewhere for other purposes, such as weight loss or blood pressure medication; these require monitoring by a consistent practitioner, and are outside WellFemme’s scope of practice.
