Michelle's story
Michelle lived in pain with endometriosis for years, feeling unheard and dismissed—until she came to Spire.
Our team can support you at any stage of your life offering expert advice, screening, tests and treatments.
Puberty
Puberty is a time of significant growth and change, marking the beginning of your journey into adulthood. As your body begins to develop, you may experience new challenges like irregular periods, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), skin changes and other hormonal shifts. This can be an exciting yet sometimes confusing time, but you don't need to navigate it alone. Our team of Private GPs, Gynaecologists and Endocrinologists (specialists in hormones) are here to provide guidance and support.Â
Reproductive ageÂ
The reproductive years are a dynamic and pivotal time in a woman's life, often involving decisions and experiences related to fertility, pregnancy and overall gynaecological health. Whether you're planning for pregnancy, managing conditions like endometriosis or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or simply finding your way through the day-to-day aspects of women's health, it's essential to have the right support. Our team of Gynaecologists, Endocrinologists and Private GPs specialising in female health and family planning are here to provide personalised care, expert advice and comprehensive treatments to help you thrive during this important phase in your life.Â
Perimenopause
This is the traditional phase leading up to menopause, often bringing a variety of physical and emotional changes as your hormone levels begin to fluctuate. During this time you may experience symptoms like irregular periods, hot flushes, mood swings and changes in your skin and libido. While every woman's experience is unique, our team of Private GPs and Gynaecologists specialising in perimenopause and other experts are here to provide personalised care and support to help you navigate this important stage of life with care and ease.
Menopause
Menopause marks a significant milestone in a woman's life, signalling the end of your menstrual cycles and the beginning of a new phase. As your body adjusts to lower hormone levels, you may encounter symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, mood changes and physical shifts like weight gain or vaginal dryness. This stage also brings increased considerations for your long term health, including a heightened cardiac risk and changes in bone density. While these changes can be challenging; menopause is a natural part of aging and our team is here to support you every step of the way. We offer expert guidance from our female health specialists including Cardiologists, Rheumatologists and Private GPs to help you manage symptoms and embrace this new chapter with confidence.Â
Post menopausal
This stage in a woman's life is a period that follows menopause, where the changes in your body may continue to evolve. While some symptoms like hot flushes may fade, new concerns such as bone health, vaginal changes and urinary issues such as vaginal prolapse might arise. It's important to stay proactive about your health and we are here to support you with our range of experts including Urologists, Rheumatologists and Cardiologists, to help you maintain your wellbeing and enjoy life to the fullest
