Menopause is a natural stage in every woman’s life, marking the end of reproductive function as ovarian hormone production gradually declines. It typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, although hormonal changes often begin several years earlier during perimenopause. Despite being a normal biological process, menopause is surrounded by many misconceptions that prevent women from seeking medical care and receiving effective treatment for symptoms that can significantly affect their quality of life.

Today, modern gynecology offers safe and evidence-based solutions to manage menopausal symptoms, reduce long-term health risks, and help women maintain an active, healthy lifestyle.

At KindCare Medical Center in Dubai, women receive comprehensive menopause care from Dr. Surayo Nazarova, Consultant Obstetrician & Gynecologist, MD, PhD, Associate Professor, with more than 30 years of clinical experience. She follows international medical guidelines and develops individualized treatment plans, including bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) when clinically appropriate.

Myth 1: Menopause Is a Disease

Fact: Menopause is not an illness. It is a natural biological transition caused by declining estrogen production.

However, hormonal changes can cause a variety of symptoms and increase the risk of certain medical conditions. Regular follow-up with an experienced gynecologist helps women maintain their health and prevent complications.

Myth 2: Hot Flashes and Sleep Problems Are Something You Just Have to Live With

Fact: Hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, mood changes, anxiety, and fatigue are among the most common symptoms of menopause, but they should not simply be tolerated.

Modern menopause treatment can significantly reduce or even eliminate these symptoms. Depending on your medical history and individual needs, treatment may include lifestyle modifications, non-hormonal therapies, or personalized bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).

Myth 3: Hormone Therapy Is Dangerous for Every Woman

Fact: This is one of the most common misconceptions.

Modern bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is prescribed only after a comprehensive medical evaluation and careful assessment of potential risks and contraindications. When appropriately selected and monitored by an experienced physician, BHRT is considered safe and highly effective for many women.

In addition to relieving menopausal symptoms, hormone therapy may help:

• Maintain bone density
• Reduce the risk of osteoporosis
• Support cardiovascular health
• Improve vaginal health and relieve dryness
• Enhance sleep quality
• Improve sexual health and overall quality of life

Myth 4: You No Longer Need a Gynecologist After Menopause

Fact: Regular gynecological examinations become even more important after menopause.

As women age, the risk of developing conditions such as:

• Endometrial hyperplasia
• Endometrial polyps
• Cervical disease
• Ovarian cysts and tumors
• Endometrial cancer
• Cervical cancer
• Breast diseases

continues to increase.

Even women without symptoms should have a comprehensive gynecological examination at least once a year.

When Should You See a Gynecologist?

Schedule an appointment if you experience:

• Frequent or severe hot flashes
• Night sweats
• Sleep disturbances
• Mood swings or anxiety
• Reduced libido
• Vaginal dryness, burning, or discomfort
• Pain during intercourse
• Urinary leakage
• Frequent urination
• Any vaginal bleeding after menopause

Postmenopausal bleeding should always be evaluated promptly by a gynecologist.

To evaluate your health and develop the most appropriate treatment plan, Dr. Surayo Nazarova may recommend:

• Bone mineral density assessment (DEXA scan)
