Menopause Assessment in Singapore

Menopause Assessment & Screening

Menopause is a significant transition in a woman’s life, marking the end of her reproductive years. It is so much more than inconvenient hot flushes—Many women fear menopause due to uncertainty and looming notions of infertility and ageing. Entering this era of your life is not always easy, but with our help, you can make this the best season of your life yet.

Understanding what to expect can empower you to navigate this stage with confidence. Prologue Wellness offers a series of menopause assessments and premenopause tests to help you manage complications and protect your health.

What Is Menopause?

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.

 

How Do I Know I Am Menopausal?

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:

 

  • Hot flushes & night sweats: Sudden waves of heat, often accompanied by sweating and flushing, can heavily disrupt sleep and daily comfort.
  • Mood swings & irritability: Fluctuating hormone levels can cause emotional highs and lows, leading to hard-to-manage irritability or anxiety.
  • Fatigue & sleep disturbances: Difficulty falling or staying asleep, often due to night sweats or hormonal shifts, resulting in daytime exhaustion.
  • Vaginal dryness & reduced libido: Decreased oestrogen levels can lead to vaginal discomfort, pain during intercourse, and a lower sex drive.
  • Frequent urination or incontinence: Weakening pelvic floor muscles and hormonal changes can cause urgency and/or leakage.
  • Brain fog & memory issues: Difficulty concentrating, forgetfulness, or mental sluggishness due to hormonal fluctuations.
  • Joint pain & body aches: Reduced oestrogen levels may contribute to inflammation and stiffness in joints and muscles.
  • Weight gain & slower metabolism: Hormonal shifts can lead to fat gain, particularly around the abdomen, and make weight management harder.
  • Hair thinning & dry skin: Declining oestrogen affects collagen production, leading to drier skin and increased hair shedding.

     

Menopause—Lesser Known Symptoms:

  • Tingling sensations
  • Burning mouth syndrome
  • Dizziness & balance issues
  • Heart palpitations
  • Digestive issues
  • Increased body odour
  • Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
  • Allergies & sensitivities
  • Gum problems & dry mouth

     

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.

When to Seek Help

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.

What to Expect During a Menopause Assessment

At Prologue Wellness, our comprehensive menopause assessments cover hormone analyses, bone density tests, cardiovascular health checks, and more. Our assessments also include referrals to our sister brand, Prologue The Lifestyle Medical Clinic, for doctor consultations and medical screening.

 

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

If you are interested in HRT, we are able to refer you to Prologue LMC to get assessed for HRT suitability. HRT (either estrogen therapy or combination therapy) helps relieve uncomfortable menopause symptoms.

Menopause: Other Crucial Health Assessments

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.

Menopause, Your Flourishing Season

Menopause is a natural transition, not a decline. With the right perimenopause test or menopause test, you can manage symptoms effectively and maintain a high quality of life.

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.

Samantha Lim

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

Jean Toh

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.

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.
