As women move through the stages of life, hormonal changes begin to affect the body in new ways. In mid-life, when oestrogen levels drop, the effects may feel disruptive, but with the right guidance, perimenopause and menopause can be managed in a way that makes the transition more comfortable. At our Gynaecologist Claremont practice, care is focused on recognising your symptoms and providing treatment strategies that suit your needs.
Menopause is explained as the natural decline in reproductive hormones, typically occurring between 45 and 55. It is officially identified after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period, but hormonal symptoms can start much earlier in a phase known as perimenopause. Although it cannot be prevented, its symptoms can often be eased with a combination of lifestyle adjustments and medical treatment, provided by our Gynaecologist in Claremont.
