Are You Navigating Fibroids and Heavy Periods With Menopause?

Perimenopause and Menopause are times of significant hormonal change. As the transition progresses, estrogen can fluctuate considerably, while progesterone may decline, creating periods where estrogen has a stronger effect relative to progesterone.

This is sometimes described as estrogen dominance and may be associated with symptoms such as heavier or more painful periods, breast tenderness, bloating and, in some women, conditions such as fibroids or endometriosis may be influenced by hormonal changes.

📌 If you're struggling with painful periods, hormonal imbalances or other women's health concerns, please book a consultation here:

Could there be more than one factor contributing to your POTS symptoms?

POTS is not always caused by one single underlying factor. For many people, it can be multifactorial, with several systems within the body potentially contributing to the way they feel.

Autonomic nervous system function, circulation, hormones, hydration and other physiological factors may all play a role. This can make POTS a highly individual experience, with symptoms varying from person to person and over time.

Understanding these different factors can be an important part of finding the right approach to care.

If you're struggling with ongoing symptoms, or simply want to rebuild strength and gain confidence in your body, our multidisciplinary team of kind clinicians offer personalised support, all tailored to your current capacity.

Have you been feeling tired, unusually cold or simply not like yourself?

Persistent tiredness, unexplained weight changes, feeling unusually cold, or changes in how you feel day to day can sometimes be signs that something deeper needs looking into.

Your thyroid plays an important role in regulating energy, metabolism, body temperature and many other processes throughout the body. If these changes are ongoing, looking more closely at your thyroid health may help provide a clearer picture of what could be contributing to the way you feel.

📌 If you want to find out more about your Thyroid, please take our Thyroid symptom quiz to identify potential signs of a thyroid issue here: https://form.typeform.com/to/xC2uV7rG

Are You Experiencing Prolonged Periods Of Stress?

When we experience stress, the body responds by releasing cortisol, an important hormone that helps us respond to challenges and stay alert.

But when stress continues for a prolonged period, the body may spend more time producing higher levels of cortisol. Over time, this can affect how you sleep, how you feel emotionally, your energy levels and your ability to navigate everyday life.

You may find yourself feeling tired but unable to switch off, struggling with sleep, feeling more irritable or simply not quite feeling like yourself.

If stress is affecting your emotional wellbeing, or you’re facing hormonal imbalances or ongoing health challenges, our team is here to listen and support you

Have you been told unbearable menstrual pain is normal?

For too long, discomfort during menstruation has been dismissed as just part of being a woman. Yet persistent pain can often point to underlying factors, including hormonal imbalance, that deserve careful attention.

Understanding your cycle is more than managing symptoms, it is about listening to what your body is communicating.

Is Your Body Clock Out of Sync?

Your body follows an internal rhythm, known as your circadian rhythm, which helps regulate sleep, energy, metabolism and many other essential processes.

Cortisol is an important part of this rhythm. It naturally rises in the morning to help you feel alert and ready for the day, before gradually declining as the day progresses and your body prepares for sleep.

When your circadian rhythm and cortisol pattern become disrupted, you may notice changes in your sleep, energy levels and metabolic wellbeing.

If you’re feeling unsure, or simply want to understand your body better, our team is here to listen and guide you.

Could POTS Be Affecting Your Long Covid Journey?

Many people living with Long Covid experience ongoing fatigue, low energy levels, post-exertional malaise, breathlessness, joint pain and cognitive challenges.

In some cases, these symptoms may be linked to POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), a form of autonomic dysfunction that appears to be more commonly seen in people with Long Covid than in many other conditions.

If you're struggling with ongoing symptoms, or simply want to rebuild strength and gain confidence in your body, our multidisciplinary team of kind clinicians offer personalised support, all tailored to your current capacity.

Are you managing a long-term health condition?

Navigating long-term health challenges is rarely straightforward. It can be complex, unpredictable and, at times, overwhelming, impacting not only the body but also emotional wellbeing.

Managing ongoing symptoms alongside experiences such as anxiety, uncertainty, or even feeling unheard in medical settings can add an additional layer of strain.

At Dr Finlay’s, you’ll be taken seriously and given the time and space to be properly listened to.

If you’re experiencing complex health challenges or need support with medical trauma, our team is here to listen and guide you.

Please 📞 call us on 020 7871 3626 or 📩 email [email protected] to book a consultation.

Could your hormones be influencing how you feel?

Menopause can bring changes to mood and emotional wellbeing that may sometimes be difficult to distinguish from depression.

As estrogen and progesterone fluctuate during perimenopause and menopause, they can also influence the brain and the systems involved in mood regulation. This may contribute to feelings of low mood, irritability, anxiety, reduced motivation or emotional overwhelm.

One important difference can be the pattern. Hormonal mood changes may fluctuate alongside hormonal changes, while clinical depression tends to be more persistent and can affect your mood and interest in everyday life over a longer period.

If you're managing Menopause symptoms, or need support with anxiety, depression and the psychological impact of living with ongoing symptoms, please get in touch.
