TANGERANG - Many women feel anxious when approaching the age of menopause. In fact, with proper preparation since the transition period or perimenopause (ages 40s), this phase can be passed comfortably and remain confident.
dr. Rinto Riantori, Sp.OG, Obstetrician and Gynecologist at Premier Bintaro Hospital, emphasizes that understanding hormonal changes is the main key. The decrease in estrogen that begins in the pre-menopausal period often triggers hot flashes, mood changes, to sleep disorders.
"Proper preparation since pre-menopause helps women go through this phase more comfortably. The first step recommended is to maintain a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, as well as regular exercise such as yoga or walking to maintain hormonal balance," explained dr. Rinto.
In addition to physical, mental health is also in the spotlight. Social support and meditation are highly recommended to manage stress due to emotional changes during this transition. Early consultation with a doctor also helps determine whether a woman needs special therapy such as Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) to relieve symptoms.
