Menopause is a natural stage in a woman's life, marked by the gradual cessation of hormone production by the ovaries. While this biological process is inevitable, it is often accompanied by numerous physical and emotional symptoms: hot flushes, fatigue, weight gain, sleep disorders, vaginal dryness, reduced libido and irritability.
These symptoms can have a significant impact on quality of life, emotional well-being, social life and intimacy.
At the Clinique Suisse Montreux, directed by Dr. Igor Martinek, a specialist in gynecology and obstetrics renowned for his expertise in bio-identical hormone treatment, each patient benefits from a personalized medical approach.
The menopause hormone treatment offered at the clinic aims to restore the natural balance of body and mind, prevent certain diseases linked to hormone deficiency, and offer women a genuine physical and emotional rebirth.
The role of female hormones and the effects of their decline
Female hormones - mainly estrogen, progesterone and testosterone - play a fundamental role in the body's overall functioning. They influence not only the menstrual cycle, but also bone density, skin quality, sleep, memory, emotions and libido.
With menopause, hormone production gradually declines, creating a profound imbalance. This imbalance can lead to symptoms that are often poorly understood, and which many women come to accept as inevitable. Yet today, there are safe and effective medical solutions to remedy the situation.
The bio-identical hormone treatment offered at Clinique Suisse aims to restore these natural hormone levels in a gentle, metabolism-friendly way, using molecules identical to those produced by the body.
The benefits of hormone therapy for menopause
The benefits of hormone therapy are many and scientifically proven. When prescribed and monitored by an experienced doctor like Dr. Martinek, the results are long-lasting and far-reaching.
1. Improvement in physical symptoms
Hormonal treatment helps reduce or even eliminate hot flashes, night sweats and chronic fatigue. It promotes more restful sleep and better stress management. Patients often notice a rapid improvement in their daily energy and concentration.
2. Prevention of osteoporosis and fractures
Estrogen deficiency accelerates the loss of bone density, increasing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures, particularly of the femoral neck.
By restoring adequate hormone levels, treatment actively helps to preserve bone strength and reduce the risk of fractures linked to bone fragility, a major health issue for women over 50.
3. Emotional balance and cognitive functions
Hormones play a key role in emotional stability and cognitive function.
After just a few weeks of treatment, many patients describe improved concentration, a sharper memory and a more stable mood.
Bioidentical hormone treatment helps restore emotional balance, reduce episodes of anxiety or mild depression, and boost self-confidence.
4. Vitality and overall well-being
The treatment promotes a profound renewal of general well-being. Patients feel more dynamic, motivated and aligned with their bodies.
It's a holistic change, both physical and mental, that gives women back their sense of control and inner harmony.
5. A new social and intimate life
Menopause can sometimes affect intimacy through vaginal dryness, reduced desire or pain during intercourse.
Hormonal treatment can restore natural lubrication, improve comfort and revive libido.
By regaining confidence in their bodies, women can enjoy a fulfilling social and emotional life, in serenity and plenitude.
A patient's journey: before, during and after treatment
The body often sends signals before menopause is confirmed by medical examination. For some women, periods become irregular, less frequent or disappear suddenly. Others experience hot flushes, night sweats, sleep disturbances or vaginal dryness that disrupts their intimate life. Chronic fatigue, irritability, mood swings and reduced libido are also common.
Beyond these visible manifestations, early menopause leads to a drop in estrogen levels, which can have silent but serious consequences. In the long term, the risk of osteoporosis increases, as does that of developing cardiovascular disease. For these reasons, it's essential not to trivialize these symptoms and to consult a specialist without delay, especially when they appear early.

During treatment: tailored medical care
Once the treatment has been defined, Dr Martinek implements personalized bio-identical hormone therapy. The hormones used are molecularly identical to those produced naturally by the female body. They can be administered as creams, capsules, transdermal gels or implants, depending on the patient's needs and lifestyle.
Treatment begins with an adjustment phase, during which dosages are fine-tuned according to clinical results and feelings. Regular medical follow-up is ensured to monitor progress, adjust doses and guarantee treatment safety.
From the very first weeks, many patients experience an improvement in sleep, energy and mood. The body gradually regains its natural balance, and the beneficial effects are reinforced as the months go by.
After a few months: a lasting transformation
After three to six months, most women report a profound and overall change in their quality of life.
Menopausal symptoms diminish considerably, vitality returns, and life resumes its course in a new harmony.
The patient feels lighter, more confident and more in tune with herself.
The benefits are felt over the long term:
- Regular sleep
- Firmer, more luminous skin
- Stable mood
- Renewed libido
- Lasting sense of well-being
It's not just a medical treatment: it's an accompaniment to feminine transformation, a step towards rebuilding physical, mental and emotional health.
