Private General Practioner of over 15 years
Dr Ella Russell MBChB, GMC 4432308.
Also known as the ‘Yorkshire menopause Doctor’ Dr Russell specialises in supporting women who are transitioning through the perimenopause and who are post menopausal. Dr Russell provides evidence-based advice and treatment, empowering women to get the advice, support and expertise they need when they are deciding upon their treatment options.
Although this time in a woman’s life is a natural progression and will happen to all women, it doesn’t mean we are all the same and so a treatment plan should be bespoke to each woman, taking in to consideration her symptoms, her choices and her background health.
The Perimenopause
The perimenopause is the period in a woman’s life leading up to her last period.
The Menopause
Officially, the menopause is defined as the time period of at least 1 year since you last menstrual period.
Non Hormonal & Hormonal Treatment Options
Some women choose hormone replacement therapy to manage their symptoms but some women don’t want ‘HRT’ or can’t take it.
Lifestyle & Wellbeing Options
As with all health issues, lifestyle choices and well being are an important part of the management of the perimenopause and menopause.
