Menopause is a natural stage in a woman’s life, marking the gradual transition out of the reproductive years. It is not a disease, but a physiological process associated with changes in hormone production, particularly estrogen and progesterone. These changes can affect not only fertility, but also overall health and quality of life.

After menopause, natural pregnancy is no longer possible. During perimenopause—the transitional phase before menopause—fertility declines gradually. Pregnancy may still occur, but it becomes increasingly unlikely.

For this reason, any medical approaches considered during this period are not aimed at restoring fertility, but at supporting health, well-being, and, where relevant, preparing for reproductive planning with assisted reproductive technologies (ART).

 

Menopause Affects More Than Reproductive Health

During perimenopause and menopause, hormonal changes can influence far more than periods and fertility. Estrogen plays a role in many parts of the body, which is why women may experience hot flashes, sleep issues, mood changes, fatigue, vaginal discomfort, or shifts in bone and cardiovascular health. The pattern and intensity of symptoms can differ greatly from one woman to another.

This is why Swiss Medica treats menopause as a whole-body transition. Supporting overall well-being and hormonal stability can also help women feel more prepared when discussing future plans with their doctors, including reproductive planning where relevant.

 

We Provide Personalized Support through Regenerative Medicine

At Swiss Medica, regenerative and cell-based therapies are explored as part of an individualized medical strategy for selected patients. They may be considered during perimenopause or after menopause, depending on symptoms, health status, and personal goals, and always following a thorough medical evaluation.

These approaches do not replace hormones and are not intended to reverse menopause. Instead, they are studied for their potential to support tissue health, reduce chronic inflammation, and contribute to overall physiological balance during this life stage. They are considered with three main goals in mind:

  • maintaining and improving quality of life
  • supporting hormonal balance and systemic health
  • preparing the body for reproductive planning using ART, when medically indicated

 

Clear Guidance and Gentle Support

Menopause is a significant transition, often accompanied by both physical and emotional changes.

Swiss Medica’s role is to provide professional, respectful, and individualized medical support, helping women navigate this stage of life with greater comfort, confidence, and long-term health in mind.

An essential part of menopause care is honest and transparent communication. If you’d like to explore supportive options for menopause or perimenopause, you can request a consultation. Share your symptoms, medical history, and any recent test results, and the medical team will explain which approaches may be appropriate – and what their limitations are – so you can make an informed choice.
