摘要：

Menopause, a natural process in a woman's life, is defined as the cessation of menstrual period for 12 consecutive months. In Singapore, the average age of natural menopause is 49 years of age. We discuss the challenges faced by menopausal women and provide an example of a holistic approach to the management of women during this important stage of their lives.
