HEALTH TALK: “UNDERSTANDING & MANAGING PERIMENOPAUSE & MENOPAUSE”

06/11/2025

On November 5, 2025, American International Hospital (AIH) hosted a health talk on the topic “Understanding & Managing Perimenopause & Menopause”, led by Dr. Jadranka Mihajlovic – Internal Medicine Specialist from Raffles Specialists, with over 23 years of experience in Mental Health, Neuroscience, Health, and Longevity.

Although not a new topic, perimenopause and menopause remain a major concern for many women entering this transitional stage. Dr. Jadranka provided an in-depth overview of the role of hormones in women’s health, highlighting key hormones such as Estrogen, Progesterone, Testosterone, FSH, LH, Prolactin, and SHBG, and how these interact with other important hormones like Insulin, Cortisol, and thyroid hormones.

This foundation helps participants recognize early signs of hormonal imbalance - from irregular periods, weight gain, fatigue, insomnia, anxiety to the typical symptoms of perimenopause and menopause.

The session also covered factors that influence hormonal health, including stress, sleep quality, nutrition, physical activity, and exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals commonly found in modern environments.

Participants were guided through safe and effective approaches to symptom management, including:

  • Lifestyle modifications (nutrition, exercise, meditation/yoga, stress management)

  • Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

  • Supportive herbal options and essential nutrients such as Vitamin B6, Magnesium, and Omega-3.

Beyond the medical insights, the health talk offered a warm and interactive space where attendees could share personal experiences, discuss in groups, and ask questions directly with the doctor. Dr. Jadranka addressed each question thoroughly, helping participants better understand their symptoms and choose suitable management options.
