Safety, Bleeding & Monitoring
Good hormone care depends on safety, bleeding review, and follow-up
WHI provides doctor-led online care for adult women, with structured review of treatment suitability, bleeding patterns, symptom response, and red flags that may need investigation or urgent in-person care.
This page explains how WHI approaches safety in menopause and hormone care.
It covers what is routinely monitored, why bleeding matters, when urgent review is needed, and how follow-up works after treatment starts or changes.
Postmenopausal bleeding should never be brushed aside.
Persistent heavy bleeding or recurrent bleeding between periods also needs proper review.
Red flags that need urgent assessment
Seek urgent local medical review if there is:
-
new heavy bleeding
-
postmenopausal bleeding with concerning symptoms
-
calf pain or unilateral leg swelling
-
chest pain or severe shortness of breath
-
new neurological deficits or stroke-like symptoms
-
severe headache that is new or worrying
-
jaundice or severe right upper abdominal pain
-
sudden significant deterioration or acute deterioration in general condition
WHI is not an emergency service.
Urgent symptoms require urgent local in-person care.
