How our doctors can help
Hormonal changes during the menopausal transition can cause a wide range of symptoms. These symptoms often begin during perimenopause, but may occur at any stage of menopause and sometimes continue after periods have stopped.
An online consultation allows a doctor to review your symptoms, medical history and treatment preferences, and discuss possible treatment options.
Perimenopause
Perimenopause is the stage leading up to menopause, when hormone levels begin to fluctuate and menstrual cycles may become irregular. This stage often lasts several years.
Many women first notice symptoms during perimenopause, which may include changes to sleep, mood, temperature regulation and menstrual cycles.
Menopause
Menopause is defined as 12 months after the final menstrual period. By this stage, the ovaries have largely stopped producing oestrogen.
Some women continue to experience symptoms such as hot flushes, sleep disruption or vaginal dryness during this time.
After Menopause
Symptoms may continue for some women after menopause, and some women may require ongoing medical advice to help manage symptoms or support long-term health.
Treatment options for perimenopause and menopause
Treatment recommendations depend on symptoms, health history and personal preferences.
A doctor may discuss several options.
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
Also known as menopausal hormone therapy (MHT).
Hormone therapy may help improve symptoms such as:
- hot flushes
- night sweats
- sleep disturbance
- vaginal dryness
- mood changes
Non-Hormonal Treatment Options
Some women prefer alternatives to hormone therapy.
Doctors may discuss options for managing:
- hot flushes
- anxiety
- sleep disruption
- mood symptoms
Vaginal Oestrogen Therapy
Low-dose vaginal estrogen may help relieve vaginal dryness and discomfort.
A doctor will determine which treatment options may be appropriate based on medical history.
