Non-Hormonal Treatment For Menopause In Singapore

Menopause is a natural transition, but the hormonal changes it brings can cause symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, mood changes, fatigue, and vaginal discomfort. These symptoms may disrupt daily life, intimacy, and long-term health.

As part of our broader medical group, non-hormonal menopause management is available at our affiliated clinics, Motherlove, Motherlove GP, and our gynaecology specialist clinic. These clinics provide safe, effective, and evidence-based care for women who are unable or prefer not to use hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
Understanding The Condition

What is Non-Hormonal Medication For Menopause?

Non-hormonal menopause treatment refers to strategies that relieve menopausal symptoms without using oestrogen or other hormone-based medications.

These approaches are particularly suited for women who:

• Have a personal or family history of hormone-sensitive cancer

• Experience troublesome symptoms but cannot take hormone therapy

• Prefer natural or medication-based alternatives to hormone replacement

With the right combination of medical and lifestyle support, non-hormonal options can help ease discomfort while supporting long-term health.
