When to see a doctor

See a doctor if you notice:

  • Bleeding more than 12 months after your last period
  • Very heavy or very irregular bleeding
  • Chest pain or pressure: call 144 at once
  • Persistent low mood

In an emergency: 144

What you can do yourself

  • Dress lightly

    Several thin layers, a cool bedroom.

  • Exercise and sleep well

    Regular exercise strengthens bones, mood and sleep.

  • Avoid triggers

    Spicy food, alcohol, caffeine and smoking can make hot flushes worse.
