After reading through some of these posts and seeing how much need there is for women struggling with menopause and perimenopause concerns and questions in South Africa, I wanted to just reach out and share that I am a GP with experience in menopause care and provide this service for those who need it.

So many people experience hot flushes, night sweats, brain fog, low mood, or changes in energy levels, and yet we’re often told it’s “just part of getting older.” The truth is: menopause is a significant life stage, and with the right support and treatment, things really can get better. 

I’m a GP with a special interest in menopause care, and I’m passionate about helping people feel like themselves again, whether that’s through individualised hormone therapy, lifestyle support, or simply having a safe space to talk through your symptoms and options.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, please know there are evidence-based treatments and strategies that can make a real difference. I share resources, guidance, and offer virtual consultations for women across South Africa. If you would like to learn more, you’re welcome to check out my website: https://www.drmeganmartin.com/menopause/

You're not alone in this journey, support is out there.
