For most women, the menopause is accompanied by a myriad of symptoms. With the lowering of oestrogen levels in the body, a lot changes in the body and on our skin. Ranging from accelerated skin ageing to vaginal dryness, as well as night sweats, insomnia and reduced energy levels. During the Menopause clinic at Mommy Skincare Clinic, a treatment plan is drawn up by our specialist doctor to prevent or reduce your symptoms.
Why and when of the Menopause clinic?
When to come to the Menopause clinic differs. Our advice is: better early than late. When the first symptoms appear, or when it has already been established that the menopause has begun, it is already wise to come to the Menopause clinic for a consultation. But if the symptoms have been present for some time, this is certainly no reason not to come.
Where we can prevent complaints by lifestyle and/or dietary changes or by using medical hormone supplementation, the doctor will discuss this with you. But even when symptoms are already present, using the above-mentioned interventions can greatly reduce menopause symptoms.
The why seems obvious to us! Transitional symptoms, small or large, have a major impact on daily life.
The Menopause Outpatient Clinic
During the Poli, a full history is taken by our specialised doctor. On the basis of which comprehensive advice is given on how to prevent or reduce symptoms. Where necessary, our doctor will prescribe medical hormone supplementation to reduce severe symptoms. Naturally, a follow-up is done to monitor the effects of the advice and any hormone supplementation.
Safety Hormone supplementation/Hormone therapy
Medical hormone therapy, if prescribed by a specialised doctor, is safe! In the past, it was thought that hormone therapy containing oestrogen could have negative effects on the female body. Fortunately, we know through scientific research that this is not the case. In fact, oestrogen supplementation not only relieves menopause symptoms, but also reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.
