Understanding Menopause
What Is Menopause?
Menopause occurs when the ovaries gradually stop producing oestrogen and progesterone, marking the end of a woman’s reproductive years. It is typically diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period, usually occurring between ages 45 and 55.
Common Symptoms
Menopause can bring a wide range of symptoms including hot flushes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, mood changes, vaginal dryness, reduced libido, joint pain, brain fog, and fatigue. The severity and combination of symptoms varies greatly between women.
Perimenopause
The years leading up to menopause are known as perimenopause. During this time, hormonal fluctuations can cause irregular periods, mood swings, and the onset of menopausal symptoms. Perimenopause can begin several years before menopause itself.
Treatment Options for Menopause
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
HRT is the most effective treatment for menopausal symptoms. It replaces the hormones your body is no longer producing sufficiently. Dr Bakhit prescribes HRT tailored to your individual symptoms, health history, and preferences, and monitors your response with regular follow-up.
Non-Hormonal Treatments
For women who cannot or prefer not to use HRT, alternative options are available. These may include specific medications, vaginal moisturisers, and other therapies to address individual symptoms.
Lifestyle and Wellbeing
Lifestyle modifications can complement medical treatment. Regular exercise, balanced nutrition, stress management, and good sleep hygiene all play a role in managing menopausal symptoms and supporting long-term health.
Bone Health Monitoring
The decline in oestrogen during menopause increases the risk of osteoporosis. Dr Bakhit may recommend bone density screening and discuss strategies including calcium, vitamin D, and exercise to support bone health.
