Introduction
Menopause marks the end of a femaleās reproductive years and usually occurs between 45 and 55 years. It is defined as a period of time when menstrual periods cease to occur permanently for 12 consecutive months. This phase also marks the end of ovarian hormone production, particularly oestrogen and progesterone.
Common menopausal symptoms include hot flashes, mood fluctuations, sleep disruption, fatigue, vaginal dryness and reduced libido. While mostly thought to be the end of fertility, menopause is far more than that. It is a transitional phase that influences bone density, heart health, skin elasticity, mental well-being and overall health.
At Medi-Gyn, we believe in addressing menopause proactively to help women improve their healthspan, life span and enhance their quality of life.
Menopause in Saudi Arabia
If you live in Saudi Arabia, you may be well aware of the cultural and social attitudes surrounding menopause. It is viewed as a natural stage of life that brings with it both relief and a challenge. Many women welcome the phase as it gives them spiritual and practical freedom; they are often restricted by the cultural taboos that prevent them from openly discussing their symptoms.
Due to this, many women in Saudi Arabia often endure menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, fatigue and hormonal shifts, privately rather than seeking help from consulting physicians. This silence can lead to underdiagnosis of treatable issues such as osteoporosis, sleep disturbance, or genitourinary infections.
In major cities like Riyadh and Jeddah, several clinics now offer advanced healthcare for women, including hormone therapy, psychological support, and bone health assessments. This is even more important today because with the rising life expectancy, women may end up spending one-third of their lives in post-menopause.
Treatment Options for Menopause
At Medi-Gyn, we recognise that each individual is unique and has distinct needs. This is why our experts perform a thorough assessment of your symptoms, physical, mental, and hormonal health to tailor personalised treatment plans.
Our advanced treatment options for menopause at Medi-Gyn include:
- Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT): A type of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), BHRT uses plant-derived hormones that are chemically similar to the bodyās own.We integrate BHRT in advanced menopause treatment at Medi Gyn to help women manage their menopausal symptoms. Since menopause symptoms occur due to a decline in oestrogen and progesterone, BHRT helps restore the hormonal balance.Health experts at Medi-Gyn carefully prescribe oestrogen and progesterone therapy to relieve symptoms and for bone and cardiovascular protection. We also ensure individualised medical supervision to ensure safe use and reduce risks.
- Non-hormone therapies: In addition to hormone therapy like BHRT, we also offer other menopause management options at Medi-Gyn, including:
- Lifestyle adjustments: Regular exercise, stress reduction, balanced diet, and adequate calcium and vitamin D intake.
- Vaginal oestrogen creams, lubricants, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and herbal supplements also help manage specific symptoms.
At Medi-Gyn, personalised care begins with a thorough assessment, which includes evaluation of bone health, cardiovascular risk, thyroid function, and personal/family medical history to design the right mix of treatments.
