We are delighted to provide assessment and treatment of menopausal symptoms. Patients are recommended to book in advance for a blood test, followed by an extended GP consultation 2 weeks later. Blood tests look for other causes of menopausal symptoms including anaemia or thyroid disease. A hormone test (FSH) may also be useful for women aged <45 years of age.
At your consultation, you will be given a menopause questionnaire and a symptom checklist to complete in the waiting room. During your extended consultation, the GP will discuss your symptoms, your suitability for different treatments and your general, cardiovascular and bone health. Potential treatments include both hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and non-hormonal medical treatments. Most medications for menopause are now provided free of charge for all patients from your local participating pharmacy.
Procedures / Investigations
Cervical Screening
We are pleased to offer a free cervical screening service (previously known as a smear test) to all women aged between 25 and 65 years. This test checks the health of your cervix, the neck of your womb and looks to see if you might be at greater risk of developing cervical cancer.
Cervical screening helps to prevent cervical cancer by looking for the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) - some types of HPV can lead to cell changes in your cervix and cancer – and abnormal cell changes in your cervix which if untreated, could turn into cancer.
You can register with cervical check and check if your cervical screening test is due at www.cervicalcheck.ie. The site also contains detailed patient information.
