Menopause typically occurs between ages 45–55, marking the end of a woman's menstrual cycles and fertility. As hormone levels decline, many women experience symptoms such as hot flushes, mood changes, sleep disturbances, and fatigue. Over time, menopause may also increase the risk of conditions such as osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease, while changes such as vaginal dryness can affect daily comfort and quality of life. Management is tailored to each woman's symptoms and health needs, and may include lifestyle modifications, screening where appropriate, medications to support bone health, phytoestrogens, supplements, or other treatment options.
Managing Menopause
Much like puberty, menopause is a normal part of life. However, unlike puberty, which marks the beginning of a woman’s menstrual cycle, menopause marks the end of it. It comes naturally with age, usually occurring between 45 to 55 years old. Once a woman reaches menopause, her periods will stop and she can no longer get pregnant.
Entering menopause can be beautiful, but for some, it can be a challenge. Every woman experience menopause differently, with menopause symptoms unique to the individual. Our menopause clinic in Singapore is dedicated to helping each woman manage her symptoms efficiently and go through menopause smoothly.
