Menopause Management - The Doctor's Method

The Doctors Method Menopause Management

As women approach menopause, they often encounter a range of physical and emotional changes that can impact their quality of life. At The Doctors Method, we understand the unique challenges that menopause presents, and we are dedicated to providing personalised care and effective treatments to help you transition with confidence and vitality.

Understanding Menopause

Menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years. It typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, although the timing can vary from woman to woman. Menopause is diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period, signalling the depletion of ovarian follicles and a decline in estrogen and progesterone production.

During this transition, women may experience a wide range of symptoms, including hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, sleep disturbances, vaginal dryness, decreased libido, weight gain, and changes in skin and hair.
