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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Menopause

When does menopause start?

Menopause typically occurs between ages 45 and 55. Perimenopause, the transitional phase, may begin several years earlier with symptoms such as irregular periods and hot flushes.

Do I need HRT for menopause?

Not always. Dr Bakhit will discuss your symptoms and health history to determine whether HRT or alternative treatments are most appropriate for you.

Is HRT safe?

For most women, the benefits of HRT outweigh the risks, particularly when started within 10 years of menopause. Dr Bakhit will assess your individual risk profile and discuss this with you in detail.

What can I do about hot flushes?

Several effective treatment options are available, both hormonal and non-hormonal. Dr Bakhit will recommend the approach best suited to your symptoms and preferences.

Do I need a referral?

Yes. A valid GP referral is required to access Medicare rebates for specialist consultations regarding menopause management.

How often will I need follow-up?

Regular reviews are important to monitor your response to treatment and make adjustments as needed. The frequency is tailored to your individual care plan.
