Welcome to Myra IVF, a trusted clinic specializing in menopause treatments and long-term women's health. We understand that menopause is a significant biological transition that affects every woman differently. Our mission is to provide expert care and evidence-based medical support to help you navigate these physical and emotional changes with total confidence.
Understanding the Stages of Menopause
Menopause is a natural process marking the end of the reproductive years, typically confirmed after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period. However, the journey often involves three distinct phases:
- Perimenopause: The transitional years leading up to the final period, often characterized by irregular cycles and early symptoms.
- Menopause: The point in time when permanent cessation of menstruation occurs.
- Postmenopause: The years following the transition, where health management focuses on bone density and heart health.
Comprehensive Menopause Treatments
The decline in estrogen and progesterone can lead to a wide range of symptoms that impact daily quality of life. At Myra IVF, we don't believe in a "one size fits all" approach. Our menopause treatments are customized based on a thorough evaluation of your hormonal profile and medical history.
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
Hormone Replacement Therapy is one of the most effective menopause treatments available for managing severe symptoms. By replenishing the body's declining hormone levels, HRT can effectively alleviate hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. Our specialists provide expert guidance on the different forms of HRT—including patches, gels, and oral medications—to ensure you receive the safest and most effective dose for your needs.
Holistic Care & Symptom Management
Beyond clinical intervention, we focus on the whole woman. Our care plans address common menopause concerns such as:
- Bone Health: Screening for osteoporosis and providing calcium/Vitamin D optimization.
- Metabolic Wellness: Guidance on weight management and heart health as the metabolism changes.
- Emotional Well-being: Support for mood swings, anxiety, and sleep disturbances through counseling and stress-reduction techniques.
- Sexual Health: Non-hormonal and hormonal solutions for libido changes and discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get pregnant during perimenopause or menopause?
Pregnancy during perimenopause is possible as ovulation may still occur irregularly. After menopause, natural conception is no longer possible. However, women in menopause can still achieve pregnancy through IVF using donor eggs. At Myra IVF, we offer donor egg programmes and hormone support to help women beyond natural fertility build their families.
What treatments help manage menopause symptoms?
Menopause management includes hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to relieve hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. Non-hormonal options include lifestyle changes, dietary supplements, and medications targeting specific symptoms. At Myra IVF, our gynaecologists create personalized treatment plans that balance symptom relief with your overall health considerations.
When should I see a doctor about menopause symptoms?
You should consult a doctor if menopause symptoms significantly affect your quality of life, if you experience symptoms before age 40 (which may indicate premature menopause), if you have unusual bleeding patterns, or if you are considering hormone replacement therapy. Early consultation allows for better symptom management and health monitoring during this transition.
