Bone Health
The loss of oestrogen can accelerate bone density loss which is a leading cause of osteoporosis and fractures in older women. Other risk factors can also cause women to be at higher risk of developing osteopenia (lack of calcium in the bones) or osteoporosis.
Dr Raquel can assess your risk, organise relevant investigations and discuss treatment options.
Menopause
Menopause and perimenopause symptoms are often overlooked and not treated properly. They can be confused with other issues like depression, anxiety, or just getting older, resulting in wrong diagnoses and treatments.
Symptoms are frequently dismissed as normal aging and a ‘natural process’ , leaving women feeling they just have to put up with them. However, these changes can greatly affect women's physical and mental health and their everyday life.
Dr. Delgado’s personal experience and the lack of medical support she received during the menopause motivated her to pursue additional training in this field. If you want to talk about your symptoms or need to discuss treatment options please reach out and book an appointment to benefit from Dr Delgado’s Women’s Health expertise.
