Today, we welcomed Imogen McGuckin from ITV News West Country to the clinic, who interviewed our founder, Hazel, about PMDD and why it can be so difficult to get diagnosed.

It was a great opportunity to shine a light on PMDD, raise awareness, and highlight the challenges so many people face when trying to get the right diagnosis and support.

Cervical Screening Awareness Month: Why Cervical Screening Saves Lives

Cervical Screening Awareness Month is an important reminder of the vital role that cervical screening plays in protecting women's health. Regular cervical screening, often referred to as a smear test, is one of the most effective ways to prevent cervical cancer by identifying changes before they become serious.

Despite its proven benefits, many women delay or avoid attending cervical screening appointments due to anxiety, embarrassment, uncertainty, or concerns about discomfort. Understanding what cervical screening involves and why it matters can help women feel more confident about attending this important health check.

Book a cervical screening test on the Bristol Menopause and Wellwoman Clinic website today.

Menopause, Brain Health and Alzheimer's Disease: What Does the Latest Research Tell Us?

As our understanding of women's brain health continues to evolve, researchers are paying increasing attention to the relationship between menopause and Alzheimer's disease. While many questions remain, several important themes are beginning to emerge from the evidence.

Firstly, it is important to understand that menopause does not directly cause Alzheimer's disease.

What researchers are increasingly discovering, however, is that the hormonal changes that occur during midlife may influence how the brain ages. As estrogen levels decline, changes occur in brain energy metabolism, neural communication, inflammation regulation, and cognitive function. These biological shifts may affect an individual's vulnerability to neurodegenerative diseases later in life.

One of the most closely studied areas is the role of estrogen-based hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Recent findings have suggested that women using estrogen-only hormone therapy may have lower rates of Alzheimer's-related brain pathology and dementia diagnoses compared with non-users. These results have renewed interest in the potential neuroprotective effects of estrogen and its role in maintaining brain health after menopause.

Current studies show an association, not proof that estrogen directly prevents Alzheimer's disease. Researchers continue to investigate the importance of factors such as treatment timing, hormone formulation, duration of use, and individual patient characteristics.

For this reason, HRT is not currently recommended solely as a strategy to prevent Alzheimer's disease. Larger randomized clinical trials are still needed.

The emerging consensus is not that menopause causes Alzheimer's, but that menopause may represent an important window in women's brain health. Understanding how hormonal changes influence brain ageing could help shape future approaches to dementia prevention, earlier intervention, and personalised care for women throughout midlife and beyond.

Creating a Menopause-Friendly Workplace
The most successful organisations take a strategic approach to menopause support.

A strong workplace menopause programme typically includes:

A Written Menopause Policy
A dedicated menopause policy should align with wider wellbeing, equality, and absence management procedures.

Menopause Champions
Having trained menopause champions provides employees with visible points of contact for support and guidance.

Senior Leadership Support
Visible backing from senior leaders helps normalise conversations and reduce stigma.

Access to Clinical Expertise
Awareness campaigns are valuable, but employees often benefit most from direct access to qualified menopause specialists who can provide evidence-based advice and treatment recommendations.

Monitoring and Evaluation
Organisations should assess whether workplace support is being used effectively and producing measurable outcomes.

Go to the Bristol Menopause and Wellwoman Clinic website to explore how training to become a menopause champion can improve your workplace culture.
