What is Menopause?
Menopause is More Than Hot Flashes!
Menopause is often thought of as an end of periods and hot flashes. But in reality it is far broader. For many women, the journey begins during perimenopause, a transition that can last up to 8 years before the final period.
During this time, hormone fluctuations can affect productivity, energy, relationships, and overall wellbeing. At Insync Medical, we want you to know you’re not alone, and we’re here to help.
Menopause Symptoms
Common known symptoms:
- Hot flashes
- Night sweats
- Irregular or skipped periods
- Vaginal dryness
Lesser known symptoms include:
- Palpitations
- Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
- Fatigue and brain fog
- Mood swings and irritability
- Anxiety and poor sleep
- Joint pain and muscle stiffness
If you are experiencing any of these, it may be perimenopause, not “just stress”.
Perimenopause often coincides with the busiest years of life, raising children, climbing the corporate ladder, and maintaining relationships. These are the years when you need your best focus, emotional stability, and energy.
Seeking help early ensures you don’t lose momentum in your career, home life, or personal goals. Menopause Hormone Therapy (MHT) is not just for women who’ve stopped menstruating, it can help during perimenopause too.
Menopause Treatment Options
Our approach to menopause is holistic, tailored to your symptoms, health profile and lifestyle.
Hormonal Options
Oestrogel (transdermal estradiol)
- Applied on the skin
- Lowest risk of blood clots, cardiovascular disease, and stroke
- Does not cause breast cancer. If cancer cells are already present, estrogen may accelerate growth, but it does not initiate cancer
Utrogestan (micronised progestrone)
- Needed if you still have your uterus
- Protects the uterine lining
- Bioidentical to your body’s natural progestrone
- Improves sleep quality
Femoston
- A combined oral estrogen-progestogen option
- Suitable for women who prefer tablets
Livial (tibolone)
- Has estrogenic, progestogenic, and androgenic effects
- Sometimes preferred for women with low libido or postmenopausal symptoms
If you’ve had a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus), you only need estrogen, not progesterone.
Non-Hormonal Options
Veoza (fezolinetant)
A new non-hormonal option for hot flashes, night sweats causing poor sleep as results of night time walking.
Lifestyle & Nutrition Support
Tailored strategies around diet, exercise, and stress management.
Myths About Menopause Treatment
Does estrogen cause breast cancer?
No. Estrogen does not cause breast cancer. It can accelerate the growth of existing cancer cells but does not create them. This distinction is vital — hormone therapy is safe for most women, when properly prescribed and monitored.
At Insync Medical, we carefully assess your personal and family history before starting treatment.
Does menopause treatment cause weight gain?
No, this is a common myth! Menopause treatment does not cause weight gain and does not directly increase appetite, the midlife “belly weight” many women notice might be mostly due to shifts in body composition, or other factors. Weight gain, particularly around the abdomen, is common during perimenopause and menopause due to hormonal and metabolic changes. At Insync Medical, we offer:
- Medical weight management with GLP-1 and GIP medications (such as semaglutide and tirzepatide).
- Nutrition guidance with emphasis on protein intake.
- Exercise coaching with resistance training to prevent sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass).
More on Menopause
Take Our Menopause Scorecard
Every woman’s experience is different. That’s why we created the Menopause Systems Scorecard, designed to help you rank your symptoms and gain clarity.
Score yourself between 0 – 3 depending on the severity of your symptoms:
1 – for mild
2 – for moderate
3 – for severe
0 – if you don’t have that particular symptom.
If score 15 or over, it indicates oestrogen deficiency and you can consider treatment.
If score between 20 – 50, it indicates significant menopause symptoms.

FAQ
If your symptoms (hot flashes, mood changes, intimacy concerns, or low energy) are disrupting daily life, it’s time to speak to a doctor. Early intervention can improve your comfort and long-term health.
- Perimenopause is the transitional phase that can start up to 8 years before menopause, with fluctuating hormone levels and symptoms.
- Menopause is confirmed when you’ve had no periods for 12 consecutive months.
Hormone therapy can be safe and effective when prescribed by a doctor after careful evaluation. At Insync Medical, we offer both hormonal and non-hormonal options tailored to your health profile
Yes. If you’re experiencing disruptive symptoms during perimenopause, hormone therapy can help restore balance and quality of life.
Transdermal estrogen (like Oestrogel) combined with micronised progesterone (Utrogestan) has the lowest risk profile for blood clots, cardiovascular issues, and breast cancer risk compared to older oral formulations.
Yes. Vaginal dryness, lower libido, and pain during intimacy are common. We provide safe, effective treatments to restore comfort and confidence in your sexual wellness.
Not necessarily. Many women take them for several years to transition smoothly and taper off when symptoms improve. Your doctor will guide you on when and how to reduce treatment.
That’s okay. We also offer non-hormonal options like Veoza, along with lifestyle and medical strategies tailored to your needs.
Regular exercise, balanced nutrition, quality sleep, and stress management can ease symptoms. Combined with personalised medical care, these changes help you transition smoothly through menopause.
You do generally feel better but objectively your menopausal symptoms score will drop to 10 or under in 3-6 months time.
Yes, some women may benefit from continuing MHT into their 60s, particularly if symptoms persist or if there are added benefits such as bone protection. The latest data suggests that starting MHT close to the onset of menopause carries the most benefit and lowest risk, but continued use beyond 60 can be considered with careful monitoring. At Insync Medical, we provide tailored assessments, including breast health checks, pelvic ultrasound monitoring, and cardiovascular evaluation, to ensure ongoing safety while you remain on treatment.
You don’t need to be on menopause hormone therapy forever. Many women use it for a few years to smooth the transition and then taper off.
We will:
- Monitor your progress closely.
- Discuss when and how to reduce your dose.
- Guide you to taper slowly, avoiding sudden rebound of symptoms.
