Menopause Care
Menopause is a normal part of a woman’s life. It marks the end of monthly periods and the beginning of a new phase in health.
Although it is a natural process, the change in hormone levels can cause symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, tiredness, or sleep problems. Some women also notice weight gain, dryness, or lower energy levels.
At Klinik Caring, Impian Emas, our doctor provides menopause care that focuses on both comfort and long-term health.
We take time to explain what is happening in your body, help you manage symptoms effectively, and guide you through important health screenings after menopause.
Understanding Menopause
Menopause happens when the ovaries stop releasing eggs and levels of estrogen and progesterone decrease.It usually occurs between ages 45 and 55, though some women experience changes earlier (perimenopause).
The drop in hormone levels can affect sleep, mood, bone strength, and heart health. Proper management helps you stay comfortable and maintain good quality of life.
Common Symptoms
- Irregular or stopped periods
- Hot flashes or night sweats
- Sleep disturbance
- Mood swings or anxiety
- Fatigue or low energy
- Weight gain or bloating
- Vaginal dryness or discomfort
- Reduced libido
- Thinning hair or dry skin
Why Menopause Care Matters
After menopause, the risk of several chronic conditions increases, including heart disease, high cholesterol, diabetes, and osteoporosis.Having regular check-ups helps detect these changes early and prevent complications.
With proper care, you can:
- Manage hot flashes and sleep issues
- Improve mood and energy
- Maintain heart and bone health
- Protect long-term well-being
Menopause Care at Klinik Caring
At Klinik Caring, menopause care includes a full assessment, education, and an individualised plan.Hormonal and Blood Tests
Our doctor may check hormone levels (such as estrogen, FSH, LH, and thyroid function) to confirm menopause or rule out other causes of symptoms.
Lifestyle and Nutrition Support
We guide you on:
- Eating balanced meals rich in calcium, protein, and fibre
- Staying active through regular exercise
- Managing stress and getting adequate sleep
- Avoiding excessive caffeine and alcohol
Calcium, vitamin D, and selected nutritional supplements can help support bone and muscle strength, improve mood, and reduce fatigue.
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
For women with significant symptoms, HRT can help restore balance and relieve hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness.
Our doctor will explain the benefits, risks, and available types of therapy to help you make an informed choice.
Recommended Health Screening After Menopause
After menopause, your body’s needs change. Regular health screening helps maintain long-term wellness.At Klinik Caring, we provide the following services and advice:
1. Breast Screening
Breast ultrasound or mammogram is recommended for women aged 40 and above to check for cysts or abnormal growths.
2. Pelvic and Gynae Ultrasound
Even after menopause, pelvic ultrasound helps assess the uterus and ovaries for fibroids, cysts, or thickening of the womb lining.
3. Cervical Health Screening
Pap smear and HPV testing remain important up to age 65, especially for women with previous abnormalities or new sexual partners.
4. Advanced Cardiac and Metabolic Screening
Heart disease risk increases after menopause.
We offer advanced cardiac screening and blood tests to check cholesterol, blood sugar, and other risk markers.
5. Thyroid and Hormone Evaluation
If symptoms such as fatigue or weight change persist, our doctor may check thyroid function and hormone levels as needed.
6. Colorectal Cancer Screening (Referral)
Women over 50 are encouraged to have colorectal screening as part of age-related health checks.
Our clinic can provide advice and referral when appropriate.
