Understanding Menopause
Menopause is a natural change that happens when a woman's monthly periods stop for good, usually between the ages of 45 and 55. During this time, the body produces less of certain hormones, which can cause uncomfortable symptoms that affect daily life. Many women visit a doctor to get help managing these changes and to make sure everything is going well with their health.
Common Symptoms / Concerns for Menopause
Hot flushes and sudden sweating
Trouble sleeping at night
Feeling moody, anxious, or easily upset
Irregular or missed periods
Vaginal dryness or discomfort during sex
Feeling tired or low on energy
Difficulty concentrating or forgetting things
Headaches or joint pains
Gaining weight, especially around the belly
When to Seek Professional Care
Book an evaluation with a healthcare provider immediately if you experience or present with:
- Heavy or prolonged bleeding after your periods have stopped
- Bleeding that returns after 12 or more months without a period
- Chest pain, shortness of breath, or heart pounding
- Severe depression, thoughts of harming yourself, or feeling unable to cope
- Sudden or severe pain in the lower abdomen or pelvis
- Unexplained weight loss or a lump you can feel in your body
- Burning or pain when passing urine, or leaking urine you cannot control
What to Expect During Your Medical Consultation
When you visit the doctor for menopause, they will ask you about your symptoms, your periods, and your general health history — there is nothing to be embarrassed about. The doctor may check your blood pressure, weight, and may request a blood test to confirm the changes happening in your body. They will work with you to find the best way to manage your symptoms so you can feel more comfortable and continue your daily life.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes menopause?
Menopause happens when a woman's body naturally stops producing eggs, usually between the ages of 45 and 55. The ovaries make less of the hormones oestrogen and progesterone, which causes periods to stop. It is a normal part of ageing and not a disease or illness.
Can I manage menopause symptoms at home, or do I need to see a doctor?
Many women manage mild symptoms at home by eating well, exercising regularly, staying cool, and getting enough rest. Herbal teas and local remedies may help some women feel more comfortable. However, if your symptoms are severe — such as very heavy bleeding, extreme mood changes, or chest pain — you should visit a clinic or hospital.
What treatments are available for menopause symptoms?
Doctors can offer hormone therapy to replace the oestrogen your body is no longer making, which can reduce hot flushes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. There are also non-hormonal medicines that help with specific symptoms like mood changes or sleep problems. Your doctor will help you choose the safest option based on your health history.
Can menopause be prevented?
Natural menopause cannot be prevented because it is a normal part of every woman's life. However, a healthy lifestyle — including regular exercise, a balanced diet, and avoiding smoking — can help reduce the severity of symptoms. Some medical treatments or surgeries can cause early menopause, so it is important to discuss this with your doctor before any procedure.
How long do menopause symptoms last?
Symptoms like hot flushes, night sweats, and mood changes usually begin in the years leading up to menopause and can continue for 4 to 8 years after your last period. Some women experience symptoms for a shorter time, while others may have them for longer. With the right support and treatment, most women find that symptoms gradually become easier to manage.
