A full menopause consultation always involves two visits with the doctor. At the first visit the doctor will go through your menopause symptoms, and include a review of your past medical history, your risk factors for cardiovascular disease and full bone health assessment. You will be referred for blood tests. At your second visit the doctor will go through your blood results, and will advise on your cardiovascular risk factors and on your bone health and will advise on management of menopause symptoms.
