Menopause is a natural part of ageing that signifies the end of a woman’s reproductive years. It occurs when oestrogen and progesterone levels decline, leading to the cessation of menstruation. A woman is considered postmenopausal after 12 consecutive months without going through her period.
Most women experience menopause between the ages of 45 and 55. For some, the transition can be physically, emotionally, and mentally overwhelming. We understand these challenges and are here to help you overcome them with compassion and confidence.
Many women begin experiencing physical and psychological changes during perimenopause, the years leading up to menopause. These changes can be subtle at first and are often mistaken for stress or ageing.
Taking a menopause test is not necessarily to ‘prove’ that you are officially in menopause, but rather to provide clarity on the symptoms you are experiencing and how to manage them. This is especially important today, as women are living longer and may spend a significant portion of their lives in menopause.
More than 75% of women in Singapore experience menopausal symptoms, around 25% describe them as severe, and about one in three women experience long-term symptoms that can last seven years or longer.
Taking a menopause test helps you take a proactive approach to your help, especially as conditions like osteoporosis and urogenital and vaginal health issues become more prominent during menopause.
A menopause assessment is suitable for women who want clarity about their hormonal health, whether they are approaching menopause or already experiencing symptoms.
You should consider the test if you:
Changes in menstrual cycles are an early indicator. Some women experience irregular cycles, shorter or skipped periods, or other menopause symptoms. A menopause test, which may include a blood test for menopause, can help confirm hormonal changes.
Menopause—Major Symptoms Checklist:
Menopause—Lesser Known Symptoms:
If you’re experiencing changes that feel unfamiliar, don’t ignore them. Menopause affects every woman differently, and recognising your symptoms is the first step toward feeling your best.
Women should seek a menopause assessment if they would like to gain confidence about entering their new stage of life, especially if their symptoms are starting to affect their quality of life, for example:
Bad hot flushes that disrupt sleep
Persistent sadness or anxiety
Heavy or frequent menstrual bleeding
Unexplained weight gain or fatigue
Pain during intercourse and more
You do not have to suffer in silence—small changes can make a big difference. The proper guidance, simple lifestyle adjustments, tailored treatments, and support from our doctors can help you feel like your best self again.
At Prologue Wellness, our comprehensive menopause assessments cover hormone analyses, bone density tests, cardiovascular health checks, and more. Our Core Hormone Wellness Panel includes comprehensive blood tests for:
Our assessments also include referrals to our sister brand, Prologue The Lifestyle Medical Clinic, for doctor consultations, medical screening and Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) suitability.
Menopause test results help assess where you are in the menopausal transition, but hormone levels can fluctuate especially during perimenopause. Results are always interpreted alongside symptoms, menstrual history, and overall health.
In the years leading to and following menopause, the rate of many chronic conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer, also increases, making regular screenings essential:
Breast cancer screenings (40+ years): Every 1-2 years, or as your doctor advises.
Colon cancer screenings (50+ years): Every 10 years with a colonoscopy or more frequently with other tests.
Pap smears for sexually active women: Every 3 years or every 5 years if combined with an HPV test.
Perimenopause is the transitional phase before menopause when hormonal changes cause symptoms like irregular periods and hot flushes.
Perimenopause can last from a few months to several years.
Menopause is diagnosed after a woman experiences 12 consecutive months without a period.

Lifestyle Changes
*Efficacy varies.
Self-Care Strategies
MHT can be effective for many women, but it’s vital to discuss benefits and risks with your doctor.
Yes. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and stress management can alleviate symptoms.
If you are still menstruating—even irregularly—pregnancy is possible.
Certain menopause supplements may help support common menopause symptoms, including magnesium, B-complex vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and specific herbal extracts. Effectiveness varies from person to person, and guidance from a qualified practitioner ensures supplements are chosen and dosed appropriately for your symptoms and health history.
Non-hormonal support often focuses on lifestyle optimisation, stress regulation, nutrition, targeted supplementation, and nervous system support. Mindful movement, strength training, sleep hygiene, and evidence-based wellness therapies can significantly improve comfort and quality of life without hormone therapy.
Sleep aids and relaxation tools can be helpful when used thoughtfully. Magnesium, calming botanicals, breathwork, and nervous-system-supportive practices may improve sleep quality. Addressing underlying contributors such as stress, blood sugar balance, and temperature regulation is key for sustainable improvement.
Yes. Vaginal moisturisers and lubricants can effectively improve comfort, reduce irritation, and support intimacy. Regular moisturiser use helps maintain vaginal tissue hydration, while lubricants provide immediate relief during intimacy. Choosing hormone-free, pH-balanced products is generally recommended.

After a few sessions, my DR gap improved and i also noticed less bloating. I can fit into my clothes better too.

Jodie has been such a great help in my health journey! She really took the time to help me understand my body and gave super practical tips that actually fit into my daily routine. I learned so much about portion control, and I love how she explained how nutrition and exercise can be adjusted around the menstrual cycle — it made everything click for me. She’s knowledgeable, approachable, and easy to talk to. I feel a lot more confident now about making choices that work for me. Highly recommend her!

Prologue Wellness takes a truly holistic approach to weight management and well-being. Instead of quick fixes, they focus on educating clients about proper nutrition, helping us build sustainable habits that improve both health and quality of life.
I also love their Clinical Core & Flow programme, which combines physiotherapy, Pilates, and yoga. It creates a supportive environment for women of all fitness levels.
On top of that, they offer innovative non-invasive treatments like Exion Body, Vanquish Me, and EmBody. These complement their holistic programmes perfectly by supporting body contouring, fat reduction, and muscle strengthening in a safe, effective way.
The team, especially Jodie, Shonia and Serene, are professional, caring, and genuinely invested in their clients’ well-being. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a place that integrates science, movement, and holistic care.

The staff’s warmth, support, and use of technology have helped me improve my postpartum core muscles and pelvic floor health

The struggles of postpartum recovery are real, and I’m so thankful to have found Prologue, a women’s wellness centre that truly understands and supports mothers like me.
Like many postpartum mums, I’ve been dealing with diastasis recti, a bulging tummy that makes me look pregnant, urinary incontinence that limits my activity with my kids, and difficulty losing pregnancy weight due to stress eating and late nights.
Since starting my personalised treatment plan here, I’ve seen real improvements. Weekly sessions with my nutritionist, Jodie, have helped me eat in a balanced and sustainable way. Physiotherapy sessions with Chloe and Jodie have strengthened my core and pelvic floor, while the Emsella chair has improved my incontinence. Embody treatments are helping with my DR, shockwave therapy is reducing bloating and stretch marks, and Exion Body treatments are tightening loose skin.
I’m truly grateful for the professional, encouraging, and caring team at Prologue who have supported me every step of the way. Highly recommended to any postpartum mother looking to recover, rebuild, and regain confidence.

I had a a great experience at Prologue Wellness. The staff was friendly, professional, and efficient from the moment I walked in. The facility was clean and well-organized, and consultant and doctor took the time to explain everything clearly.Highly recommend!
Valerie Boh
Would highly highly recommend this place to postpartum ladies. Other than the many machine services to help with various issues such as DR, weak pelvic floor muscles and loose skin, they also have trained nutritionist and physiotherapist to help provide a holistic recovery experience! Truly glad that Proloque team has helped to resolved my DR and I have seen improvements in my core and pelvic floor muscles! Lastly, the space here is nicely done up and the team of ladies here are very friendly and professional.
