🔬 What Is Menopause?

Menopause is the stage when menstrual periods stop permanently because of changes in ovarian hormone production. It is generally identified after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period, provided there is no other explanation for the absence of periods.

Menopause commonly occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, although it can occur earlier. The transition leading up to menopause is called perimenopause. During this time, periods may become irregular, and symptoms can begin even before menstruation stops completely.

The decline in estrogen levels can affect several parts of the body, including the reproductive and urinary systems, bones, sleep patterns and emotional well-being.

Menopause is a natural biological process, not an illness. However, persistent or troublesome symptoms deserve appropriate attention and care.

Symptoms: When Should You Consult a Gynecologist?

Menopause symptoms vary from woman to woman. Some experience only mild changes, while others find that their symptoms interfere with work, sleep or quality of life.

You may benefit from a menopause consultation if you experience:

• Hot flashes: Sudden sensations of heat, sometimes accompanied by sweating or flushing.
• Night sweats: Episodes of sweating during sleep that may disturb rest.
• Irregular periods: Changes in menstrual frequency, flow or duration during perimenopause.
• Sleep difficulties: Trouble falling asleep, staying asleep or feeling rested.
• Mood changes: Irritability, anxiety, low mood or emotional fluctuations.
• Vaginal dryness: Dryness, burning, itching or discomfort during sexual activity.
• Urinary symptoms: Urgency, discomfort or recurrent urinary symptoms that require assessment.
• Reduced sexual desire: Changes in libido, sometimes associated with sleep disruption, mood changes or physical discomfort.
• Changes in concentration: Difficulty concentrating or a feeling of mental fog.
• Changes in sexual comfort: Discomfort that affects intimacy or quality of life.

These symptoms can have causes other than menopause. A gynecologist can help assess whether hormonal changes, another medical condition or a combination of factors may be contributing.

Important: Any vaginal bleeding after menopause—including spotting or a single episode—needs prompt medical evaluation. Do not assume that it is simply part of menopause.

How Is Menopause Diagnosed?

Menopause assessment begins with a discussion of your symptoms, menstrual history and overall health. The investigations required depend on your age, symptoms and medical circumstances.

1. Medical history

Your gynecologist may ask about changes in your periods, hot flashes, sleep, mood, vaginal or urinary symptoms, previous illnesses, medications and family history where relevant.

2. Clinical examination

A physical or gynecological examination may be recommended depending on your symptoms and concerns. An examination is not automatically required for every menopause consultation.

3. Blood tests

In otherwise healthy women aged 45 or older with typical menopause symptoms, the diagnosis is often made clinically without routine hormone testing.

Blood tests may be considered when symptoms are unusual, menopause occurs at a younger age or another condition needs to be investigated. Depending on the clinical picture, tests may include thyroid function, a blood count or selected hormone tests.

4. Ultrasound or other investigations

A pelvic ultrasound, cervical assessment or other investigations may be appropriate if there is abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain, a suspected gynecological condition or another specific indication.

Not every woman needs blood tests, hormone panels or ultrasound scans to confirm menopause. Investigations should be selected according to individual clinical needs.

Menopause Treatment Options

There is no single treatment that is suitable for every woman. Menopause treatment aims to address troublesome symptoms, support overall health and help women make informed decisions about their care.

The appropriate approach depends on symptom severity, age, medical history, personal preferences, the presence of a uterus and individual risk factors.

1. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT)

Hormone replacement therapy replaces hormones that decline during menopause. It can be an effective option for many women experiencing troublesome hot flashes, night sweats and other menopause-related symptoms.

Depending on the clinical assessment, options may include estrogen taken as tablets or delivered through a patch, gel or spray. The most suitable formulation depends on the individual’s needs, medical history and available treatment options.

For women who still have a uterus, systemic estrogen generally needs to be combined with a progestogen to protect the uterine lining. Estrogen alone is generally appropriate for women who have had a total hysterectomy, subject to individual assessment.

HRT is not suitable for everyone. The potential benefits, risks, route of administration and treatment duration should be discussed with a qualified healthcare professional before starting treatment.

2. Treatment for vaginal dryness and urinary discomfort

Menopause-related changes in the vaginal and urinary tissues can cause dryness, irritation, discomfort during sex and certain urinary symptoms.

Management may include:

• Vaginal moisturizers for ongoing dryness.
• Water-based or silicone-based lubricants for sexual activity.
• Low-dose vaginal estrogen when clinically appropriate.
• Assessment and treatment of urinary symptoms or recurrent infections when indicated.

Local vaginal treatment is different from systemic HRT. The appropriate option depends on symptoms, medical history and individual circumstances.

3. Non-hormonal treatment

Some women cannot use HRT, prefer not to use it or need additional symptom management.

Depending on the symptoms and clinical assessment, options may include selected non-hormonal medicines, menopause-specific cognitive behavioural therapy or psychological support. Treatment for persistent anxiety or depression may also be needed.

The choice of medicine should take into account other health conditions, current medications and potential side effects.

4. Lifestyle measures and healthy ageing

Lifestyle changes can support general health and may help some women manage menopause symptoms.

Useful measures include:

• Maintaining regular physical activity, including weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening exercise.
• Eating a balanced diet with adequate calcium and vitamin D from appropriate dietary sources or supplements when indicated.
• Maintaining a regular sleep schedule.
• Identifying and managing individual hot-flash triggers, such as excessive heat or particular foods, if these are relevant.
• Avoiding smoking and limiting alcohol.
• Seeking support for stress, anxiety or persistent low mood.

Lifestyle measures can complement medical treatment but may not be sufficient for moderate or severe symptoms.

5. Bone and long-term health assessment

Declining estrogen levels contribute to bone loss during and after menopause. Age, family history, previous fractures, medications and other health factors can influence the risk of osteoporosis.

Your doctor may review your bone health and cardiovascular risk factors and advise whether further assessment, preventive measures or treatment is appropriate.

6. Herbal remedies and supplements

Products marketed as natural menopause treatments are not automatically safe or effective. Evidence varies, and some products can interact with medicines or cause adverse effects.

Discuss supplements or herbal preparations with your healthcare professional before using them, especially if you have other medical conditions or take regular medication.
