The key to effective menopause treatment in Australia is still based on hormone therapy. Menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) has been acknowledged by the Australasian Menopause Society, the Endocrine Society of Australia and Jean Hailes as the most effective method by which to treat the vasomotor symptoms along with help in the long-term maintenance of health.
In the majority of women who are within 10 years upon the onset of menopause (and even younger than that) the use of MHT is mostly beneficial compared to the risk. Nonetheless, the health profile of every woman is dissimilar. In order to calculate the safest most effective method in our particular situation our practitioners will perform comprehensive blood work and health screening.
The hormone treatments of today have highly developed. Modern MHT provides a variety of delivery methods, transdermal patches, gels, sprays and oral formulation rather than one-size-fits-all, enabling specific and individualised dosage application. Oestradiol, similar to the natural oestrogen in the body, is desired in modern practise because of its safety profile.
The advantages of managing menopause hormones treatment are not only confined to the control of hot flushes and night sweats. Good indications promote the use of MHT to prevent osteoporosis and sustain cardiovascular conditions when administered at the right time. Other areas of our care plan include vaginal and urinary health, sleep quality, mood, and cognitive function.

Responses to the questions posed by our patients that we receive the most regarding menopause and treatment options in Australia.
Menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) is highly considered as the most efficient mode of treating vasomotor symptoms such as hot flushes and night sweats. It is also useful in vaginal dryness, sleeping disorders and mood switches. Nevertheless, your specific symptoms, health history, and preferences determine the optimal treatment program. At Longevity Clinics, we evaluate your overall health to prescribe the best option, including hormones, medications that are not hormonal, a change in lifestyle, and a mix.
Menopause in Japanese women has an average age of 51, though the process of perimenopause (when the symptoms are commonly experienced) may be experienced much earlier. It is a good idea to have an expert review of symptoms of menopause to improve your quality of life, sleep, mood, or daily functioning, whether you are young or elderly. Women prematurely menopaused (younger than 40 years old) or those who menopaused early (younger than 45 years old) are recommended to pursue treatment especially to safeguard bone and cardiovascular health over time.
In the majority of cases when MHT is started within 10 years of menopause or before age 60 the effects are usually more beneficial than the harm. New formulations (transdermal delivery and bioidentical) are much safer than older therapy. When prescribing any hormone-based therapy, your practitioner will closely evaluate your risk factors individually, such as cardiovascular health, prior breast cancer history, and other factors.
There are a number of non-hormonal evidence-based options that can be used to treat hot flushes and night sweats. These involve some prescription drugs, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and lifestyle changes that incorporate regular physical workouts, change of food or stress management. New non-hormonal therapies such as neurokinin 3 receptor antagonists are also promising as effective treatments. Our group will assist in determining the most effective strategy towards your problem.

Perimenopause refers to the period before menopause, when hormone levels start to increase and decrease, which in most cases results in irregular periods and development of such symptoms as hot flushes, mood swings and insomnia. When one has passed 12 months consecutively without a period, then the menopause is confirmed. The years after menopause are referred to as post-menopause. Treatment may be utilized effectively at either of these stages.
