HEALTHY-U HEALTH CONVERSATIONS: EPISODE 2

PERIMENOPAUSE: CAN IT START BEFORE YOUR PERIODS STOP?

The answer is YES! And this is something more people need to know about.

Many people associate menopause with periods stopping completely. But did you know that hormonal changes and symptoms can begin years before that happens?

This stage is called PERIMENOPAUSE.

During perimenopause, hormone levels fluctuate, and women may begin experiencing changes even while they are still having periods.

Some common symptoms include:

🌙 Difficulty sleeping or night sweats

🧠 Brain fog, forgetfulness or difficulty concentrating

😟 Changes in mood, anxiety or irritability

🔥 Hot flushes

💤 Feeling unusually tired

🩸 Changes in menstrual cycles

💬 Here's something interesting...

Perimenopause often begins during a woman's 40s, although it can happen earlier. Some women experience significant symptoms, while others notice very little change.

And here's another important fact: You do not have to wait until your periods stop to seek medical advice about possible perimenopause symptoms.

Not every symptom is necessarily caused by hormonal changes, which is why an individual assessment can be helpful.

At Healthy-U Pharmacy, we believe that better health starts with better understanding.

💬 LET'S HAVE A CONVERSATION!

Do you think enough information is available to help women recognise perimenopause?

Or is this something that still isn't talked about enough, particularly in the workplace and at home?

We would love to hear your thoughts in the comments. Let's help make conversations about women's health more open, informed and supportive. 💜

Please avoid sharing personal medical details publicly. If you have concerns about symptoms, speak to an appropriate healthcare professional.

Healthy-U Pharmacy 💚
Supporting healthier, better-informed communities.

MENOPAUSE & HRT: WHY IS THERE STILL SO MUCH CONFUSION?

For many women, menopause is about much more than just hot flushes.

Changes in sleep, mood, menstrual cycles, joint discomfort and vaginal dryness can all be part of the experience. But not every woman experiences menopause in the same way.

One subject that often creates confusion is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).

HRT is one of several options that may be discussed when managing menopause symptoms. However, it isn't suitable for everyone, and decisions should always take into account individual circumstances, medical history, potential benefits, risks and other available approaches.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer, and nobody should feel pressured towards or away from a particular treatment.

We would love to hear your thoughts!

What do you think women need more information about when it comes to menopause and HRT?

Is there something about menopause that you feel isn't discussed or explained well enough?

Let's encourage an open, respectful conversation and help improve awareness. 💜

Unfortunately, our Saltdean pharmacy was broken into at approximately 3am this morning by two teenagers.

The two individuals were inside the pharmacy for approximately 20 seconds before deciding to leave without taking anything. Thankfully, no medication was taken, no patient information was accessed, and absolutely nothing was stolen.

During the break-in, one of the individuals sustained what appears to be a significant cut to their hand or arm whilst forcing entry.

Interestingly, one of them also decided to switch on the torch on his mobile phone, which has given us exceptionally clear CCTV footage of both individuals' faces!

We believe these two teenagers are local to the area (very clear CCTV images). So, perhaps it's worth checking whether your teenage son was out late last night, returned home in the early hours, or has come home today with a rather nasty injury to his hand or arm.

To the two individuals involved: You made a very poor decision by breaking into our pharmacy, but at least you made the right decision to leave without taking anything. Unfortunately, the damage has already been done, and your actions have caused unnecessary stress, disruption and expense to a local business.

We are incredibly fortunate to have such a supportive community in Saltdean. I would personally like to thank everyone who contacted the police, called me in the early hours and sent messages to make sure everything was okay. Your kindness and concern really do mean a lot.

For our patients, please be reassured that we are OPEN and trading as normal today. Your patient information remains secure, and no medicines or stock have been stolen.

And finally, a special mention to Nick Skelton, who is working hard for once 😂 to get our broken glass replaced today so that we can safely secure the pharmacy again this evening!

The incident has been reported to the police, and the CCTV footage will be made available to assist their investigation.

Breaking into any local business is completely unacceptable. We work hard to serve our community, and no business should have to deal with something like this.

Once again, thank you to our wonderful Saltdean community for looking out for us.

IMPORTANT UPDATE TO OUR OPENING HOURS

Healthy U Pharmacy: Travel Clinic, Ear Wax Removal, Weight Loss. Woodingdean

From Monday 28 September 2026, our opening hours will be changing at our Woodingdean Store.

NEW OPENING HOURS
Monday to Friday
9:00am – 1:00pm
2:30pm – 6:00pm

Saturday
9:00am – 11:30am

Sunday
Closed

Since taking over Healthy-U Pharmacy Woodingdean earlier this year, we have made a number of changes to improve how the pharmacy operates and how quickly we can prepare prescriptions for our patients.

By streamlining our dispensing processes and workflow, we are now able to dispense the majority of prescriptions on the same day that we receive them, providing there are no stock or prescription-related issues.

Our text messaging system also means patients are being notified as soon as their medication is ready. More patients are now waiting for their notification before coming to the pharmacy, which has significantly reduced unnecessary journeys and the number of telephone calls asking whether prescriptions are ready.

You can also keep track of your prescriptions through the Healthy-U Pharmacy app.
Our app is available to download from both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Patients can securely log in using their NHS login and receive updates showing when we have received their prescription, when it has been dispensed and when it is ready for collection.

This is another way we are trying to make managing prescriptions easier and more convenient, without patients having to telephone or make an unnecessary journey to the pharmacy.

There is more to come.
Over the coming weeks, we will also be relaunching our Healthy-U Pharmacy website. The new website will bring together the range of NHS and private healthcare services available through Healthy-U Pharmacy, with patients able to find out more about our services and book appointments online or through our app where available.

These improvements have also changed how and when patients need to use the pharmacy. In particular, we have seen a significant reduction in the number of patients visiting us on Saturdays.

We have therefore reviewed our opening hours and, from 28 September, will be reverting to our NHS core opening hours.

The additional opening hours we have been operating are not funded through our NHS contractual hours, and continuing to operate additional hours where there is limited patient demand is not financially sustainable.

There is nothing to worry about. Healthy-U Pharmacy Woodingdean is not closing.
This is a sensible business decision to help ensure that your local pharmacy remains financially sustainable and continues serving the Woodingdean community for the long term.
We regularly hear about community pharmacies across the country having to close their doors completely, leaving the communities they serve without a local pharmacy. We want to make responsible decisions now to help protect the future of Healthy-U Pharmacy Woodingdean and the services we provide.

We will continue investing in the pharmacy, improving our systems and expanding the NHS and private healthcare services available to our patients.

Thank you to everyone in Woodingdean for your continued support.

A new community defibrillator for Woodingdean ❤️

We’re pleased to share that a new publicly accessible defibrillator has now been installed outside Healthy-U Pharmacy, Cowley Drive, Woodingdean, working with Brighton & Hove City Council.

When we looked at the local defibrillator coverage, there was a clear gap around this part of Woodingdean. There are several defibrillators elsewhere in the surrounding area, but very limited coverage around Cowley Drive and this side of Woodingdean.

The nearest existing defibrillator was over a mile and a half away. In a cardiac emergency, when every minute matters, we felt our community needed something closer.

Healthy-U Pharmacy will be covering the ongoing operational costs of the defibrillator so that it remains available for the local community.

The cabinet is accessible 24 hours a day. In an emergency: Call 999.

The emergency services will provide the access code for the cabinet and guide you through what to do. Instructions are also clearly displayed on the box.

Community pharmacy is about much more than dispensing medicines. We’ve always been proud of the role Healthy U Pharmacy: Travel Clinic, Ear Wax Removal, Weight Loss. plays in supporting the communities of Saltdean and Rottingdean, and following our expansion into Woodingdean, we want to bring that same commitment to Woodingdean and Ovingdean.

Hopefully this defibrillator will never be needed. But if it is, it is now there for our community when every minute counts.

Dervis Gurol, owner of Healthy-U Pharmacy.

Your local community pharmacy, supporting Saltdean, Rottingdean, Woodingdean and Ovingdean.
