Surgical Menopause
Private Surgical Menopause Treatment in London
Expert Surgical Menopause Care from Experienced Consultant Gynaecologists
Surgical menopause occurs when both ovaries are removed, causing an immediate and significant reduction in hormone levels. Unlike natural menopause, which develops gradually, surgical menopause happens suddenly and symptoms can often be more severe. Many women experience hot flushes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, mood changes, brain fog, vaginal dryness, reduced libido, and other symptoms that can have a profound impact on their physical health, emotional wellbeing, and quality of life.
At Gynaecology Clinic London, our experienced consultant gynaecologists understand the unique challenges of surgical menopause and provide expert care to help women manage both the immediate effects of hormonal change and their long-term health. We offer clear advice, comprehensive assessment, and evidence-based treatment in a professional, supportive, and discreet environment.
Whether you are preparing for surgery, have recently had your ovaries removed, or are looking for support with ongoing symptoms following surgery, our specialists provide prompt access to expert advice and comprehensive treatment. Our aim is to help relieve your symptoms, protect your long-term health, and support you in returning to everyday life with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will everyone experience symptoms after surgical menopause?
Most women experience menopausal symptoms after both ovaries are removed, although the type and severity of symptoms vary. Because hormone levels fall suddenly, symptoms often develop more quickly and may be more severe than those experienced during natural menopause.
Will I need hormone replacement therapy (HRT)?
Many women benefit from HRT following surgical menopause, particularly if surgery occurs before the natural age of menopause. Your consultant will review your medical history, discuss the benefits and potential risks, and advise whether HRT is appropriate for your individual circumstances.
Can surgical menopause affect my long-term health?
Yes. Surgical menopause may increase the long-term risk of osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and other health concerns, particularly in younger women. Appropriate treatment, regular reviews, and healthy lifestyle measures can help support your long-term health.
Can I take HRT if I have had a hysterectomy?
Many women who have had a hysterectomy are suitable for oestrogen-only HRT, although this depends on the reason for surgery and your medical history. Your consultant will recommend the most appropriate treatment for your individual circumstances.
What if I cannot take HRT?
If HRT is not suitable or you decide not to take it, other treatment options may be available to help manage your symptoms. Your consultant will discuss the alternatives and recommend the approach that is most appropriate for you.
Can testosterone help after surgical menopause?
For some women experiencing persistent low libido or reduced sexual wellbeing despite HRT, testosterone therapy may be considered where clinically appropriate. Your consultant will discuss whether this treatment is suitable for your individual needs.
Will I need long-term follow-up?
Some women benefit from ongoing reviews to monitor symptoms, optimise treatment, and support their long-term health. Your consultant will recommend an appropriate follow-up plan based on your symptoms and treatment.
Can I have children after surgical menopause?
If both ovaries have been removed, you will no longer produce eggs naturally and will not be able to become pregnant naturally. If fertility preservation is a concern before surgery, it is important to discuss your options with your consultant as early as possible.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. Many women choose to self-refer for private assessment. Referrals from GPs and other healthcare professionals are also welcome.
Can I have a consultation before my surgery?
Yes. Many women choose to seek specialist advice before surgery to better understand the potential effects of surgical menopause, discuss HRT, and plan how their symptoms and long-term health will be managed after their operation.
