Together for better menopause care
As a general practitioner, you are often the first point of contact for women with menopausal symptoms. FemmePrex supports you with specialised diagnostics, treatment and guidance. We look forward to working with you.
Why refer to FemmePrex?
Menopause is a broad and complex topic. Not every patient fits within the standard NHG guideline, and some symptom patterns require specialised knowledge.
At FemmePrex, our gynaecologists have fully specialised in menopause and hormonal health. We take the time for a comprehensive history, targeted laboratory tests and a personal treatment plan.
After treatment, you always receive detailed feedback, so that you as GP remain fully informed of the progress.
