Menopause Management at Oshun · Kingston, Jamaica

Menopause care.
Done thoughtfully.

Menopause Management at Oshun is led by Dr. Charles Rockhead — diagnostic evaluation, individualised treatment plans (hormone therapy when appropriate; non-hormonal options when not), and ongoing care for the years on either side of menopause.

Four things that are true of every visit

Care by an OB/GYN

Every procedure at Oshun is reviewed and led by a board-certified Obstetrician and Gynaecologist. Dr. Rockhead is a physician first — the same one who treats women's health on the other side of his practice.

30 years caring for women

Three decades as a practicing OB/GYN at Amadeo Medical Group, the parent clinical practice. Every Menopause Management plan is reviewed by a physician who has cared for women through pregnancy, surgery, perimenopause, and post-natal recovery.

Written plan first

Every Menopause Management patient leaves consultation with a written plan: areas, technique, timing, recovery, cost. Returning patients refine the same plan rather than starting from scratch every visit.

Conservative, considered

Oshun's approach favours conservative, considered care over aggressive intervention. Decisions are made in conversation with you, options are presented in plain language, and consent is informed at every step.

The honest version

Why menopause management sometimes disappoints.

Menopause care disappoints when symptoms are treated piecemeal by different specialists, when HRT discussion is avoided due to outdated risk perceptions, or when long-term health planning is neglected.

Menopause is not just "hot flushes that go away." The hormonal transition reshapes bone metabolism, cardiovascular risk, sleep architecture, mood regulation, sexual function, and weight regulation. Piecemeal care misses the integrated picture.

Patients also tell us they leave standard primary-care visits feeling unheard about symptoms that affect daily quality of life — brain fog, sleep, libido, weight. These are real symptoms with treatable causes.

At Oshun, we don't run that model. Menopause Management here is physician-led from consultation through follow-up, with a written plan in your hands and a follow-up visit on the calendar before you leave.

A Menopause Management visit at Oshun follows a clear sequence — from consultation through the procedure itself through follow-up. Here is what happens, step by step.

i.

Consultation

Before any Menopause Management is scheduled, you meet Dr. Rockhead in person at 9 Devon Road. He reviews your medical history, examines you as appropriate, and explains the options — including the option not to proceed. You leave with a clear written plan and a quote.

ii.

Preparation

Bring records of recent mammogram, bone density (DEXA), lipid panel, prior gynaecological care, family history, and current medications.

iii.

The menopause assessment

Dr. Rockhead takes a comprehensive history covering all menopause-relevant symptom domains, performs a focused examination, orders appropriate labs (hormonal, lipid, thyroid, fasting glucose, vitamin D as indicated), and writes a structured management plan.

iv.

Recovery & follow-up

Follow the prescribed plan. Report breakthrough bleeding, new chest pain or shortness of breath, leg swelling, or any concerning new symptoms. Initial assessment within 6–8 weeks; comprehensive review every 6–12 months. DEXA every 1–2 years.

Is Menopause Management right for you

Who gets the most out of Menopause Management at Oshun.

Menopause Management isn't a one-size category — the right approach depends on your specific situation. Below are common patient profiles we see. If one sounds like you, an in-person consultation at 9 Devon Road is the next step.

Perimenopause

Early perimenopausal symptom pattern

Women in their early-to-mid 40s starting to notice cycle changes, sleep disruption, or mood shifts.

Established menopause

Established symptoms and risk management

Women fully through menopause who want both symptom relief and structured long-term planning.

Surgical menopause

Post-oophorectomy management

Women whose ovaries have been removed surgically need targeted hormonal and risk management.

Non-HRT preference

Symptom management without hormones

Patients who don't want, can't take, or have decided against HRT still benefit from comprehensive management.

If this sounds right

Every Menopause Management patient at Oshun starts with a consultation. Twenty minutes, in-person at 9 Devon Road, with Dr. Rockhead. No procedure is scheduled, no quote is signed, no pressure either way. You leave with a plan and a price — or you leave with neither.

The honest answers

Nine questions every nervous first-timer asks.

Open any of them. We've written each answer the way Dr. Rockhead would actually say it — not the way a brochure would.

When does menopause actually start?
Menopause is technically diagnosed 12 months after the last menstrual period — typically age 51. The years before that (perimenopause) often have more symptoms than menopause itself.
Do I need HRT?
Not necessarily — HRT is one option among many. Whether it's right for you depends on your symptoms, risk profile, and preferences.
What if I don't want hormones?
Many effective non-hormonal options exist: SSRIs/SNRIs for vasomotor symptoms, gabapentin, oxybutynin, CBT, and lifestyle modification. Vaginal-only oestrogen has very low systemic exposure.
Will my bones get weaker after menopause?
Bone density declines after menopause due to reduced oestrogen. DEXA scans every 1–2 years from menopause onward assess this.
Will I gain weight?
Many women gain weight during the menopause transition due to hormonal shifts, muscle-mass loss, and lifestyle factors. Planned management can substantially limit changes.
Will my sex life change?
Often yes — libido, arousal, lubrication, and sometimes orgasm all shift during the transition. Many of these have specific treatments.
What about brain fog and memory?
Cognitive symptoms during menopause are real. They often improve once vasomotor symptoms and sleep are better managed.
Is menopause management covered by insurance?
Yes — comprehensive women's health visits are typically covered.
