This a specialist clinic dedicated to women in menopause.
Menopause is a natural stage of life, but for many women it can bring significant physical, emotional and hormonal changes that affect daily life, relationships, sleep, confidence and overall wellbeing. Every woman’s experience is different, which is why personalised care and expert guidance are so important.
Our specialist Menopause Clinic is dedicated to supporting women through every stage of menopause and beyond. While many people think of menopause as a short period of transition, it is in fact a new phase of life that continues into your later years.
The choices you make during the years surrounding menopause can have a significant impact on your future health and quality of life. Our goal is to help you navigate this transition with confidence by providing expert advice, personalised treatment plans and ongoing support, enabling you to remain active, healthy and independent as you get older.
For this reason, we have developed a structured menopause programme that considers every aspect of your health. Our approach goes far beyond simply prescribing hormones. We work with you to understand your symptoms, assess your individual health needs and recommend the investigations and treatment options that are most appropriate for you.
Our service also provides access to additional investigations where required, including pelvic ultrasound scans, endometrial biopsies and blood tests, allowing many aspects of your care to be managed within the one specialist clinic.
Femplus is proud to be a British Menopause Society (BMS) Certified Specialist Menopause Service, demonstrating our commitment to providing high-quality, evidence-based menopause care.

Recognising the Signs of Menopause
Every woman’s experience of menopause is unique. Some women experience only mild symptoms, while others find that menopause has a significant impact on their physical health, emotional wellbeing and overall quality of life.
Many of the changes associated with menopause begin during perimenopause, which can start several years before your periods stop completely. Because these symptoms often develop gradually, many women do not immediately recognise that changing hormone levels may be the cause.
Women experiencing perimenopause or menopause may notice symptoms such as:
- Hot flushes and night sweats
- Irregular or changing menstrual periods
- Difficulty sleeping or insomnia
- Mood changes, anxiety or irritability
- Brain fog, forgetfulness or difficulty concentrating
- Fatigue and reduced energy levels
- Joint or muscle aches and pains
- Vaginal dryness or discomfort
- Reduced libido or changes in sexual wellbeing
- Headaches or migraines
- Weight changes or difficulty maintaining weight
Not every woman will experience the same symptoms, and their severity can vary considerably. If menopause symptoms are affecting your daily life, work, relationships or overall wellbeing, the Femplus Menopause Clinic in Dublin provides specialist menopause assessments, personalised treatment plans and ongoing support to help women manage menopause with confidence and support their long-term health.
When Should You Consider Seeing a Menopause Specialist?
Many women manage mild menopause symptoms with lifestyle changes and support from their GP. However, there are times when specialist menopause care can provide additional reassurance, more detailed assessment and a personalised treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.
You may benefit from an appointment at the Femplus Menopause Clinic in Dublin if:
- Menopause symptoms are affecting your quality of life, work or personal relationships.
- You are experiencing persistent hot flushes, poor sleep, anxiety, brain fog or other symptoms that are becoming difficult to manage.
- You are unsure whether your symptoms are related to perimenopause or menopause.
- You would like expert advice on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) or other treatment options.
- Your current menopause treatment is not providing the relief you expected.
- You have a complex medical history and would like specialist guidance before starting or changing treatment.
- You are looking for a personalised menopause care plan focused on your current wellbeing and long-term health.
At the Femplus Menopause Clinic, we recognise that every woman’s menopause journey is different. Our experienced team takes the time to understand your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle and personal priorities before recommending evidence-based treatment options that are right for you. Our goal is to help you make informed decisions and feel confident about managing your health throughout perimenopause, menopause and beyond.

Our structured menopause programme offers comprehensive care that goes beyond prescribing medication. Where appropriate, your assessment may include pelvic ultrasound scans, blood tests and other investigations, allowing many aspects of your menopause care to be managed within the one clinic.
For women experiencing vaginal dryness or other genitourinary symptoms associated with menopause, we also offer RenovaLase® vaginal laser treatment. This innovative, non-surgical treatment may be suitable for some women and forms part of our comprehensive approach to menopause care.

Do I Need to Attend the Clinic in Person for Every Appointment?
No. While some appointments at the Femplus Menopause Clinic in Dublin require an in-person visit, others can be carried out remotely, depending on the purpose of your appointment and your individual treatment plan.
Your initial assessment or appointments that require a medical examination, pelvic ultrasound or other investigations will normally take place at our clinic. However, many follow-up consultations, medication reviews and discussions about your ongoing treatment can often be provided remotely where clinically appropriate.
Our aim is to make specialist menopause care as convenient and accessible as possible, while ensuring that you continue to receive the personalised care and clinical support you need throughout your menopause journey.
What Happens During Your Menopause Care Journey?
FIRST CONSULTATION
Your first appointment at the Femplus Menopause Clinic in Dublin is designed to give you a clear understanding of your symptoms and the treatment options available.
During this consultation, one of our experienced doctors will discuss your medical history, menopause symptoms, lifestyle and overall health. We will carry out a comprehensive clinical assessment and work with you to develop a personalised menopause treatment plan that reflects your individual needs and health goals.
We believe that informed patients make confident decisions, so we take the time to answer your questions, explain your options and provide the information you need to decide on the most appropriate treatment for you.
Blood Tests
Please note that routine blood tests are not usually required during your first consultation. For most women, menopause is diagnosed through a detailed clinical assessment rather than hormone blood tests. This approach follows current best practice guidance from leading international menopause organisations, including the International Menopause Society and the British Menopause Society.
ONGOING FOLLOW-UP CARE
If you decide to begin treatment, we recommend regular follow-up appointments to ensure your care remains safe, effective and tailored to your changing needs.
Typically, patients attend the clinic twice each year. An annual review includes a full pelvic ultrasound scan together with a comprehensive gynaecological assessment. A further follow-up appointment is usually scheduled between annual reviews to assess your progress, review your treatment and provide repeat prescriptions where appropriate.
Our ongoing follow-up programme allows us to monitor your health, review how your treatment is working and make any adjustments needed to help you achieve the best possible outcomes throughout your menopause journey.
Can My GP Manage My Menopause Care?
Yes. Many GPs provide excellent menopause care and are experienced in diagnosing menopause and prescribing Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) where appropriate.
However, some women choose to attend the Femplus Menopause Clinic in Dublin because they are looking for a more comprehensive assessment, have ongoing symptoms despite treatment, or would like specialist advice on the full range of menopause management options.
Our menopause service is built around a structured programme of care that goes beyond prescribing HRT alone. We take the time to understand your symptoms, review your overall health, discuss your treatment goals and provide ongoing follow-up care. Where clinically appropriate, this may also include pelvic ultrasound scans, gynaecological assessment and access to additional treatments such as RenovaLase® vaginal laser treatment.
Our doctors follow current best practice guidance, including recommendations from the British Menopause Society, ensuring your care is based on the latest evidence and tailored to your individual needs.
