Menopause is the natural end of menstrual periods, confirmed after a full year without a period, and can bring symptoms such as hot flushes and mood changes. Healia's menopause care with Dr. Mustafa Aldam offers personalized assessment and treatment.
Menopause is the permanent cessation of menstrual periods, marking the end of the reproductive years. It is officially confirmed when a woman has gone an entire year without a period, and typically occurs around age 51 though the timing varies. It can be natural, surgical (after removal of the ovaries or pelvic radiation), or premature (ovarian failure before age 40).
It affects women going through the natural decline in reproductive hormones. Common symptoms include hot flashes and night sweats, vaginal dryness and sexual discomfort, mood changes and irritability, sleep problems, fatigue, joint pain and stiffness, urinary incontinence, and reduced sexual interest.
Assessment is based on your symptoms and hormonal pattern. The specialist reviews your menstrual history, the severity and timing of symptoms, and identifies whether the change is natural, surgical, or premature, so care can be tailored to your situation.
Options are chosen to suit you and may include hormone replacement therapy (estrogen, or estrogen with progesterone) to relieve symptoms, non-hormonal medications such as certain antidepressants or blood-pressure medicines, vaginal estrogen creams or rings for localized relief, and lifestyle changes to diet and exercise. HRT is effective for many women but is not suitable for everyone, so the plan is individualized.
