Our gynaecologist Maruša Strgulc, MD, deals with menopausal and perimenopausal women, bringing fresh energy, expertise and a personal approach to support the holistic health, well-being and quality of life of each patient.
Menopause marks the last menstrual period in a woman's life and usually occurs between 45 and 55 years of age. Your mother's age at menopause can be an important indicator of when to expect it. But even more crucial is the period of a few years before the last menstrual period, called perimenopausal period or menopausal transitionwhich usually starts between the ages of 40 and 50 and lasts until the onset of postmenopause. During this time, the body gradually goes through hormonal changes that affect well-being, health and lifestyle.
Why is this period so important?
Today, we talk a lot about healthy longevitywhich means living an active, independent and quality life in old age. Menopausal transition is a period when the body gradually adjusts to hormonal changes that affect well-being, energy, sleep, weight and overall health. It is also the last time to adjust your lifestyleto keep us healthy, active and energised during post-menopause - the period after our last menstrual period.
In our clinic, we focus on comprehensive treatment of perimenopausal womenwhere we work together to find ways to maintain your well-being today and long-lasting health 10-20 years from now.
An important part of care includes a balanced diet, regular exercise, a proper sleep routine, stress reduction and a healthy attitude towards the body.
For some women, medical support such as hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or weight control therapy is recommended during the menopausal transition or postmenopause.
HNT is safe and effective, as it can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by 50%, lower the risk of cognitive decline by 64%, reduce the risk of dementia by 35% and support bone density and muscle mass, reducing the risk of bone fractures.
It is available in systemic or topical form and is prescribed on an individual basis, usually during the late menopausal transition or postmenopause (up to 10 years after the last menstrual period).
If you notice changes in your wellbeing, sleep, memory, mood, libido or weight, you may book a consultationwhere we will work together to find solutions tailored to your needs and lifestyle.
In our clinic we provide professionalism, discretion and a friendly approachwhere every woman feels heard, supported and safe.
