Menopause
Menopause is a natural stage of life that we all go through. Our aim is to ease you through perimenopause and menopause alike, supporting strong women with reduced long-term health risk. Arami's founder, Dr Kafayat Lee, believes women should be guided through menopause to come out the other side stronger in body, stronger in mind, and healthier than they were even a decade or two before.
If your periods have not yet stopped completely, our perimenopause management page may be the better starting point. And because so much of what helps through menopause is about sleep, movement, nutrition and long-term risk, our lifestyle medicine service works alongside menopause care for many of our patients.

How Can Arami Help?
Choosing a menopause clinic in Melbourne comes down to finding a doctor who will listen properly and give you the time to be heard.
Menopause management at Arami Women's Health is built around a longer consultation, so there is room to cover symptoms, history and what this stage means for your health over the next few decades.
Your menopause care with us may include:
A full review of your symptoms, medical history and family history
A clear explanation of what is happening hormonally and what it means for your longer-term health
Discussion of Menopausal Hormone Therapy, including the benefits and risks as they apply to you
Non-hormonal and lifestyle options where MHT is not suitable or not your preference
Attention to bone, heart and metabolic health as part of your broader care
Ongoing menopause management, with review appointments to adjust your plan over time
Menopause support is available in person at our East Melbourne clinic and by telehealth to women right across Australia.
Menopause FAQs
-
Menopause begins once you've gone 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period. Hormonal changes during menopause can continue to influence your health and wellbeing well beyond your final period.
-
The climacteric is the medical term used to describe the broader hormonal transition that includes perimenopause, menopause and the years that follow. Most women simply refer to this stage as menopause.
-
Menopause before the age of 40 is uncommon. Women searching for signs of menopause at 39 are often experiencing perimenopause, but it's important to have symptoms properly assessed.
-
No. Menopausal Hormone Therapy, or MHT, is one option among many. The right treatment depends on your symptoms, medical history and personal preferences.
-
In Australia, menopause care is usually provided by a GP with additional training in women's health rather than by a formally recognised menopause specialty. Rather than looking for the best clinic, it tends to be more useful to ask practical questions: how long is the appointment, how often does the practitioner manage menopause, will both hormonal and non-hormonal options be discussed, and is telehealth available if you can’t attend in person. Arami Women's Health provides menopause consultations in East Melbourne and by telehealth Australia-wide.
-
Menopause treatment is tailored to you. It may include Menopausal Hormone Therapy where it is appropriate and safe, non-hormonal options, and lifestyle and nutritional strategies to support sleep, mood, bone and heart health. Most women begin with a longer initial consultation to map out symptoms and history, followed by review appointments so the plan can be adjusted as things change.
