Dr. Mandy at the Women's Hospital (Hamad) is very good. You can make an appointment by calling the Women's Hospital. I found her to be very accommodating with appointments. She also works on Sundays at the Al Gharrafra Health Clinic. Dr. Mandy really listens and is extremely helpful.

Been there and thankfully am now out the other side! I regularly took Kordels Phytofemme which are available in any pharmacy here. They take about two weeks to kick in, but I can honestly say that from that point on the hot fushes were minimal and the severity of the night sweats reduced by 75%. It may not be for everyone, but it worked for me. I also took Kordels Women's Multi - just to boost the energy levels!

I see Dr Abdul Rahman Lilla at Doha clinic. I find him to be very good. His work hours a fairly limited, I think he is their most days from around 10am for 3 or so hours.I am pretty sure he does not work evenings. He is very good at responding to emails so you may want to confirm his hours with him. arlilla@hotmail.com. He is very good at explaining things...I find the whole subject very confusing at times!! He suggests I go on HRT, says I am too young(38) to be feeling crappy all the time....I agree about the feeling crappy bit but am hesistant to try HRT..although I am not really sure why!!!! I shall try this cream and see how I feel after that. I know quite a few ladies that also see the German gynae at Al Ahli...I think his name is Dr Stefan. Thanks so much for the info.

Menopause...funny thing. I did not realize I've had it until the dreaded night sweats and insomnia....and more amazing, I found out I was almost done with it, way too early though. My doc put me on HRT, which I was somewhat reluctant about. BUT, I am so very glad I decided to do it...now I feel "normal " again. I had so many ailments that i now know were due to menopause, as they have completely disappeared. I have no side effects whatsoever from the HRT.

Check this website out . http://www.wellsprings-health.com/ I have been using Serenity cream for 6 months and my flushes are practically non existant now!!!! I very rarely wake up in the night with hot sweats. I also take evening primrose capsules. I'm sure they deliver to anywhere in the world. Its contains a natural progesterone rather than HRT which my doctor didn't want to give me. I swear by it!!!! Lancashirelass.
