Dr Melina Stasinou

I am a Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist with more than 15 years of clinical experience, specialising in Reproductive Medicine, fertility, hormonal health and women’s wellbeing across all stages of their lifespan.

Having trained and worked in both Greece and the United Kingdom, as well as holding clinical and academic positions internationally, I have developed extensive expertise in fertility assessment and treatment, fertility preservation, recurrent miscarriage and implantation difficulties, pelvic ultrasound, hormonal health, perimenopause and menopause management.

My approach is centred around the individual woman. I believe that every patient deserves time to be heard, a thorough assessment and a treatment plan that is tailored to her personal medical history, symptoms, reproductive goals and priorities. My aim is to combine specialist medical knowledge with compassionate, clear and personalised care, helping women feel informed and confident about their health and treatment choices.

Clinical Experience

I am the Founder and Medical Director of Cybele Women’s Health, a private practice in Athens, Greece, established in 2021. Alongside my private practice, I currently work as a Consultant in Reproductive Medicine at leading fertility and healthcare institutions, including MITERA Hospital and HYGEIA IVF Embryogenesis in Athens, as well as the Marion Gluck Clinic in London, Create Fertility London (IVIRMA Group), and Fagron Global Training Academy.

My previous academic and clinical appointments include Assistant Professor of Clinical Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Weill Cornell Medicine and Attending Physician in the Reproductive Medicine Unit at Sidra Medicine. I have also worked as Senior Consultant in Reproductive Medicine and Lead Ultrasound Specialist at Create Fertility in London, and as a Research Fellow in the IVF Unit at Hammersmith Hospital, Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust.

Throughout my career, I have remained committed not only to clinical excellence but also to education, research and the development of modern approaches to women’s reproductive and hormonal health.

Education & Specialist Training

I hold a PhD in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, an MSc in Research in Female Reproduction from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, and an MD from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece.

I completed my specialist training in Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Greece, followed by further specialist training and professional development in Reproductive Medicine and Functional & Aesthetic Gynaecology. I have also completed a Healthcare Leadership Programme at Stanford University, USA.

My Approach to Fertility & Reproductive Health

My clinical approach combines individualised, evidence-based reproductive care with a comprehensive assessment of the factors that can influence fertility and reproductive outcomes.

When appropriate, I look beyond fertility treatment alone and consider the wider picture of a woman’s health, including lifestyle, metabolic health, nutrition, hormonal balance, ovarian and uterine factors and other relevant medical considerations. This allows us to identify potentially modifiable factors and, where appropriate, optimise reproductive health alongside established fertility treatments and assisted reproductive technologies.

My goal is not simply to recommend a treatment, but to help each patient understand why a particular approach may be appropriate for her, what the available options are and how we can work together towards the best possible outcome.

Women’s Hormonal Health, Perimenopause & Menopause

My clinical interests also include functional and regenerative non-invasive gynaecology, hormonal health, perimenopause and menopause care.

Women’s hormonal health changes significantly throughout life, and symptoms can affect much more than the menstrual cycle. Changes in oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone and other hormones may be associated with symptoms such as changes in menstrual patterns, hot flushes, night sweats, sleep disturbance, mood changes, reduced energy, brain fog, vaginal and urinary symptoms, changes in sexual wellbeing and alterations in body composition.

I provide personalised assessment and management throughout the different stages of the female reproductive lifespan, including fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause and menopause. My aim is to understand each woman’s symptoms in the context of her overall health and to discuss evidence-based treatment options that are appropriate for her individual needs.

Bioidentical Hormone Therapy

I have a particular clinical interest in bioidentical hormone therapy and personalised hormonal care, particularly for women experiencing symptoms related to perimenopause, menopause and hormonal transitions.

Bioidentical hormones are hormones that are chemically identical, or structurally equivalent, to hormones naturally produced by the human body. When hormone therapy is clinically appropriate, treatment can be individualised according to a woman’s symptoms, medical history, hormonal status, age, reproductive stage and personal preferences.

My approach is to undertake a careful, individualised assessment before recommending hormone therapy, considering both potential benefits and risks. Depending on the individual situation, treatment may involve oestrogen, progesterone and, in selected cases, testosterone, with the choice of preparation, route and dose tailored to the patient.

I also recognise that hormonal symptoms do not occur in isolation. For this reason, my assessment may include consideration of sleep, stress, metabolic health, body composition, nutrition, exercise, sexual wellbeing, bone health and cardiovascular risk, alongside the woman’s gynaecological and reproductive history.

For women considering bioidentical hormone therapy, I believe in a collaborative approach: explaining the available options clearly, discussing the evidence and uncertainties, monitoring response and safety, and adjusting treatment when needed. The objective is to help women feel well, maintain their health and quality of life, and navigate hormonal transitions with confidence and appropriate medical support.

A Personalised Approach to Women’s Health

Whether I am supporting a woman through fertility treatment, pregnancy planning, recurrent miscarriage, fertility preservation, perimenopause or menopause, my priority is to provide expert, compassionate and personalised care.

I believe that good medical care begins with listening. Every woman has a different medical history, different goals and different expectations, and I aim to create a supportive environment where patients feel comfortable asking questions and actively participating in decisions about their health.

My philosophy is to combine international clinical experience, scientific evidence and personalised medicine to provide comprehensive care that supports women’s reproductive health, hormonal wellbeing and quality of life at every stage of life.
