MENOPAUSE CONSULTATION
Menopause is a natural stage that requires specialised support. At Medical Port you will find multidisciplinary care, without hormone replacement, to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
Personalised and Multidisciplinary Support
Menopause is a natural stage in a woman's life, marked by the permanent cessation of menstruation, usually between the ages of 45 and 55. This hormonal transition can bring physical, emotional and social changes that require dedicated and personalised follow-up to ensure quality of life and wellbeing.
During menopause, lower oestrogen levels may cause hot flushes, night sweats, sleep disorders, vaginal dryness, mood changes, loss of bone mass and decreased libido. Around 50% to 75% of women experience vasomotor symptoms. Weight gain is also common, often linked to metabolic syndrome, increased cardiovascular risk and osteoporosis.
Multidisciplinary Approach without Hormone Replacement Therapy
If you have already been diagnosed with menopause, or if you prefer to avoid hormone replacement therapy, multidisciplinary support is key to improving wellbeing.
At Medical Port, you will find experienced professionals who work together to help you manage weight, restore natural hormonal balance and improve your quality of life. Adapted nutrition, regular physical activity and complementary therapies, such as acupuncture, can help relieve symptoms safely and personally.
