What is menopause?

Menopause is a natural stage of life when periods stop, usually between ages 45–55. It happens because the body produces less reproductive hormones. Everyone’s journey is different. Most people reach menopause between 45–55, but it can happen earlier (called early or premature menopause).

What is perimenopause?

Perimenopause is the stage before menopause when your hormones start to change. It can bring symptoms like hot flashes, irregular periods, or mood shifts. It’s a normal part of life, and support is available if symptoms affect your wellbeing.

What are the common symptoms?

Many experience some symptoms, like hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, sleep changes, vaginal dryness, or weight changes. Not everyone will have the same symptoms. Symptoms can last a few months to several years. For some, they ease quickly; for others, they take longer.

Is there treatment for menopause symptoms?

Yes! Options include hormone therapy (HRT), non-hormonal medications, and lifestyle changes. Care is personalised to your body and comfort. At our clinic, you’ll find compassionate professionals who listen, support you, and guide you to the right care for your needs.
