Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City Introduces Comprehensive Perimenopause Clinic For Women's Health

Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City (SSMC), part of PureHealth, has launched a perimenopause clinic to support women through menopause. This phase can be tough, with many experiencing physical and emotional symptoms that affect daily life. The clinic aims to provide comprehensive care to help women manage these changes effectively.

The new clinic offers a variety of specialised services for women facing menopausal symptoms. It focuses on preventative care, personalised treatment plans, and educational support. This holistic programme is designed to address health concerns during this significant life stage.

Dr. Shahad Mahmoud, an obstetrics and gynaecology consultant at SSMC, expressed pride in leading the clinic's development. "I am extremely proud to have spearheaded the development of this clinic, and I am eager to see the positive impact it will have on women who are managing this natural yet challenging phase in their lives," Dr. Mahmoud stated.

The clinic provides initial consultations with a gynaecologist, including thorough screenings and assessments. Patients can also access same-day consultations with a dietician for nutrition advice, a psychologist for mental health support related to menopause, and a physiotherapist.

Dr. Muhieddine Seoud, chair and consultant of obstetrics and gynaecology at SSMC, highlighted the department's expertise in diagnosing and treating gynaecological conditions. "With the introduction of the perimenopause clinic, we can now provide specialised, compassionate care throughout every phase of the menopause journey," he said.

The clinic also offers personalised nursing assessments and educational services for additional support. This approach ensures that each woman's unique needs are addressed comprehensively.
