Menopause & Hormonal Health
When hormonal changes affect how you feel and function
Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can affect much more than just periods. Many women experience changes in mood, sleep, energy, bleeding patterns, weight, libido, and overall wellbeing.
These changes can be disruptive and sometimes confusing — especially when they overlap with other gynaecological conditions.
Common symptoms
Hormonal changes may cause:
Hot flushes and night sweats
Mood changes or anxiety
Poor sleep
Vaginal dryness or discomfort
Reduced libido
Brain fog or fatigue
Some symptoms improve over time. Others benefit from targeted treatment.
How hormonal changes are assessed
Assessment begins with understanding your symptoms, cycle changes, and health history.
Pelvic ultrasound may be helpful to assess the uterus and ovaries, particularly when bleeding is irregular or heavy, to rule out conditions such as fibroids, polyps, or adenomyosis.
Blood tests may also be used when appropriate to assess hormone levels and exclude other causes.
Treatment options
Treatment depends on your symptoms, health background, and personal preferences. Options may include:
Hormone therapy
Non-hormonal treatments
Management of abnormal bleeding or pelvic symptoms
Lifestyle and supportive strategies
The aim is to improve quality of life while balancing benefits and risks.
