Navigating Menopause
Understanding the menopause transition and how expert guidance can help you manage symptoms and protect long-term health.
Menopause is a natural biological transition marking the end of menstrual cycles, typically occurring in women in their late 40s or early 50s. The transition — perimenopause — can begin years earlier with significant physical and emotional changes.
Perimenopause vs Menopause
Perimenopause begins when hormone levels start to fluctuate, typically in the mid-40s. Menopause is confirmed after 12 consecutive months without a period. Symptoms can be significant during both phases.
Common Symptoms
Hot flushes and night sweats, mood changes, sleep disturbances, vaginal dryness, reduced libido, brain fog, joint aches, and changes in skin and hair are all common menopausal symptoms.
Managing Symptoms
Dr. Saba Mehmood offers personalised management plans including Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) where appropriate, non-hormonal medications, and lifestyle recommendations.
