Menopausal treatment options focus on relieving symptoms and supporting long-term health. They are individualised based on symptoms, medical history, and patient preference.
Common options include:
> Lifestyle interventions: nutrition, regular exercise, sleep optimisation, stress management, reduced alcohol, and smoking cessation
> Hormone therapy (MHT/HRT): oestrogen ± progesterone to manage hot flushes, night sweats, mood changes, vaginal dryness, and bone loss (when clinically appropriate)
> Non-hormonal medications: taking a natural high quality supplements specifically targeted for menapause
> Vaginal oestrogen or non-hormonal moisturisers: for genitourinary symptoms
> Bone health strategies: calcium, vitamin D, weight-bearing exercise
> Skin and wellbeing support: targeted skincare, sun protection, collagen-supportive treatments, and lifestyle medicine approaches
Treatment should be guided by a qualified healthcare professional following a thorough assessment and shared decision-making.
