Women’s Health & Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy also known as BHRT
BHRT therapy for the menopause
Recent research has shown that women are experiencing perimenopause and menopause at much earlier ages than is predicted, and sometimes by the age of 40, a woman can be totally depleted of normal levels of estrogen, have lost almost all their progesterone, and have lost more than half of their testosterone. These fluctuating levels and hormone imbalances can cause serious health issues in some cases, and it’s for this reason that we really encourage patients not to wait until symptoms are strong before getting their hormone levels assessed.
What is involved with BHRT at The Attic Medi Spa?
All BHRT treatments that are prescribed by Amanda and are individually tailored to suit each patient’s needs and requirements and come in the form of creams, gels, patches or capsules, depending on which is most suitable.

BHRT Follow-up Treatment Process
You will be be prescribed BHRT for 6 months after the first consultation
After receiving your first prescription, a telephone consultation will be arranged six weeks later for new patients to discuss how you are feeling on your medication. Amanda can “tweek” your prescription if your symptoms haven’t quite subsided.
A second prescription will be sent to the pharmacy which includes one repeat which will normally last you another four months.
We will then arrange a six month telephone consultation, to discuss how you are feeling which will again allow her to possibly tweak your medication and she will also send a new prescription to the pharmacy with two repeats which will allow you to order up to 6 months more medication.
After 12 months the process repeats itself.
In order for Amanda to prescribe Bio-identical Hormones a face to face or telephone consultation has to be performed at least once a year which is regulation. It is also good practice to perform a blood test to determine your hormone levels.
