As you near menopause, your ovaries gradually produce less estrogen and progesterone. This natural decrease is what causes many common symptoms, including hot flashes and night sweats, as well as mood changes and sleep disturbances.

Hormone Therapy (HT) can help manage these symptoms by replenishing the hormones your body no longer makes. While HT offers many benefits, it’s important to understand that it also carries potential risks, making a personalised consultation essential.

Visit www.drelizabethhugo.co.za or call 021 851 1900 to schedule an appointment. Let’s explore whether HT could be the right solution for you.

Menopause Myth Busted 🌸

Myth: Menopause means the end of your s*x life, energy, and vitality.
Truth: Menopause is a natural phase, not a full stop.

With the right support, lifestyle habits, and medical guidance, women can maintain intimacy, energy, and overall well-being. Hot flashes, mood changes, and sleep issues can be managed. Your life doesn’t have to slow down.

Menopause is a new chapter, not a limitation. Embrace it with knowledge and care.

Perimenopause: Understanding the Transition 🌸

Perimenopause is the stage before menopause, when your body gradually produces less estrogen. It often starts in your 40s and can bring irregular periods, hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep changes.

Stages of Perimenopause:
- Early Stage – Periods become irregular, and cycle length may vary.
- Late Stage – Hot flashes, night sweats, and sleep issues become more frequent.
- Transition to Menopause – Periods stop for 12 consecutive months; menopausal symptoms may peak.

Understanding these stages helps you manage symptoms and care for your body with confidence. Lifestyle changes, hormone therapy, and medical support can make this phase smoother.

Understanding Perimenopause 🌸

Perimenopause is the natural transition your body goes through before menopause, often starting in your 40s. It can bring changes like irregular periods, hot flashes, mood shifts, sleep disturbances, and more.

While these changes can feel challenging, knowing what’s happening in your body is the first step to managing them effectively. With the right guidance, lifestyle adjustments, and medical support, you can navigate this stage with confidence and comfort.

Your health and well-being don’t pause during perimenopause; they evolve. Let’s embrace this next chapter together.

International Women’s Day - Sunday, 8 March 2026 🌸

Being a woman means carrying strength quietly, showing up daily, and still making space for care, kindness, and growth. Today is a reminder to pause and acknowledge yourself, not for perfection, but for resilience.

Celebrate the woman you are becoming.

Care for your body. Trust your instincts. Honour your journey.

Happy International Women’s Day.

🎗️ Monitoring Female Cancer Patients on Hormonal Therapy

At my practice, I carefully monitor the reproductive health of breast cancer patients receiving hormonal therapy. These treatments can sometimes lead to changes in the lining of the uterus, which is why regular assessments are important to identify any abnormalities early.

Breast cancer patients may also have an increased risk of ovarian cancer, making annual check-ups, including clinical examinations and transvaginal ultrasound, an important part of ongoing care, early detection, and peace of mind.🌸

🎗️ Understanding Uterine Cancer

Uterine cancer most commonly affects postmenopausal women. Early assessment and timely treatment are crucial.

Treatment is usually surgical and may include:
Total abdominal hysterectomy
Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy
Removal of pelvic lymph nodes and omentum

These procedures can be performed via laparoscopy or laparotomy, depending on your individual case.
