Comprehensive Women’s Healthcare in Manchester
Women experience many transitions throughout life. From your teenage years to pregnancy, motherhood, and menopause, each stage comes with its own challenges, both physical and emotional. At Swinton Pharmacy, we are here to support you with expert care that is tailored to your needs.
Key Women’s Health Concerns
Understanding common health issues that affect women at different life stages.
Puberty and Menstrual Health
Puberty typically starts around age 11, but can begin earlier or later. Monthly cycles may take time to become regular, and many young women experience cramping, mood changes, or headaches. Our period pain services offer effective relief and practical advice to manage these symptoms.
Sexual and Reproductive Health
In their 20s and beyond, women may face risks from sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or pelvic inflammatory disease, which can impact fertility. Our private women’s health clinic provides confidential consultations and treatments, including advice on STI prevention and reproductive health.
Heart Disease
Heart disease remains the top cause of illness among UK women, often mistaken for everyday stress or fatigue. Our pharmacists provide guidance on lifestyle changes to reduce these risks.
Diabetes
Having diabetes can make heart disease more likely and may cause complications in pregnancy, including miscarriage or birth defects. We offer advice on maintaining a healthy weight, staying active, and avoiding smoking to lower your diabetes risk.
Breast Cancer
Every year in the UK, over fifty thousand women receive a breast cancer diagnosis. Finding it early plays a big role in improving treatment success and outcomes. Our clinic offers support and referrals for breast health screenings to ensure prompt care.
Menopause
Menopause triggers hormonal changes that can impact both your body and your emotions. During menopause, it’s common for women to notice sudden warmth in the body, shifts in mood, and changes that may affect heart health. We provide guidance on managing menopause, including hormone replacement therapy options, working alongside your GP.

We offer tailored services to support your health and what matters most to you. At Swinton Pharmacy, we’ve created a women-focused healthcare experience that prioritises your comfort and convenience:
Private Health Consultations
Step into our dedicated consultation space where qualified pharmacists listen to your concerns without time pressure. Our women’s health screening approach involves discussing symptoms, reviewing your health background, and developing practical solutions tailored to your lifestyle and preferences.
Pain Relief and Treatment
For period pain or other discomforts, we offer over-the-counter medicines like ibuprofen or paracetamol (with safety guidance for those with conditions like asthma). We also provide advice on heat therapy and lifestyle changes to ease symptoms.
Menopause Support
Our team offers guidance on managing menopause symptoms, including lifestyle tips and information on HRT. We coordinate with your GP to provide care that’s both safe and effective.
Health and Lifestyle Advice
Prevention remains the cornerstone of good health. We offer practical advice on:
- Nutrition choices that support energy and overall wellness
- Physical activity recommendations suited to different life stages
- Stress management techniques for busy lifestyles
