<p>The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines for menopause
were updated in December 2019 and include clear criteria for the diagnosis, investigation
and treatment of early menopause. NHS England and NHS Improvement expect all providers
to give due regard to NICE guidance.</p><p><em> </em></p><p>Treatment for early menopause
usually involves Hormone Replacement Therapy or a combined hormonal contraceptive
pill both for relief of symptoms and to prevent against the long-term consequences
of oestrogen deficiency. Women diagnosed with Premature Ovarian Insufficiency are
generally managed in a specialised menopause clinic and should have regular reviews
to assess the efficacy of treatment and to be offered fertility advice if appropriate.
NHS.UK provides signposting to a range of counselling and support groups, such as
the Daisy Network and to fertility support groups, where necessary.</p><p><strong>
