Surgically or medically induced menopause

When menopause is triggered suddenly either through surgery, chemotherapy, radiation or other medications, the transition can feel abrupt and overwhelming. Unlike natural menopause, there’s little time for your body to adjust, making personalised, integrative care essential for restoring balance and protecting your long-term health.

Surgically or medically induced early or premature menopause can occur at any age, often without warning, and may be permanent or temporary depending on the condition and treatments offered.

Whether from hysterectomy, oophorectomy, cancer treatments or medications, the sudden drop in hormones may lead to intense symptoms including hot flushes, night sweats, anxiety, joint pain or low mood, amongst others.

Early or premature menopause brings an increased risk of long-term physical, mental and emotional health issues for women, and in particular bone, cardiovascular and cognitive health.

The extent of impact can vary from woman to woman depending on her previous state of health, age and types of treatments and dosages used.
