Most menopause symptoms can be managed by you and your healthcare provider. However, depending on your symptoms, you may need a referral to another specialist such as a pelvic floor physiotherapist, gynecologist, urogynecologist, or endocrinologist. You can also make an appointment to see a pelvic floor physiotherapist on your own, without a referral from your healthcare provider.
- Pelvic floor physiotherapists specialize in the pelvic floor and can offer information, treatment, and advice on managing urinary incontinence.
- Gynecologists specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the vulva, vagina, uterus, and ovaries.
- Urogynecologists specialize in treating pelvic floor conditions.
- Endocrinologists specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions related to hormones and the glands that produce hormones.
Your specialist will meet with you to discuss your health concerns and look at your test results. They may diagnose your concern, order more tests, or discuss treatment and management options with you.
You can find out more about how to get a referral for a specialist by asking your healthcare provider.
