Menopause check-up and care in Baku
Gynaecologist consultation, ultrasound, checks of bones and heart, cancer screening and a talk about treatment options in Baku.
Menopause is a natural stage of life rather than an illness, yet the years around it can bring hot flushes, night sweats, poor sleep, mood changes, vaginal dryness and aching joints. Periods usually stop somewhere between the mid-forties and the mid-fifties, and the falling level of oestrogen also affects the bones, the heart and metabolism. A menopause check-up in Baku looks at both your symptoms and your long-term health.
The visit usually starts with a gynaecologist or a gynaecologist-endocrinologist, who examines you, performs an ultrasound and orders tests based on your history. Bone, heart and cancer screening can often be arranged within the same few days. If symptoms trouble you, the doctor discusses hormone and non-hormone options. Many doctors in Azerbaijan speak Russian, and an interpreter can attend when needed. We review your reports beforehand and send a written estimate.
Treatment options in Azerbaijan
Gynaecologist consultation with ultrasound
A gynaecologist talks through your symptoms and the history of your cycle, examines you and performs a pelvic ultrasound. Blood tests, for example of thyroid function, may be ordered when other causes of the symptoms need to be ruled out.
GynaecologyCheck of bones, heart and metabolism
After the menopause the risks for bones and blood vessels change, so the check-up can include a bone density scan, blood pressure, an ECG, cholesterol and blood sugar. The doctor chooses the tests according to your age and history.
OsteoporosisHormone and non-hormone options
Hormone therapy can ease hot flushes and other symptoms for some women, but it is not suitable for everyone. The gynaecologist weighs the possible benefits and risks with you individually and, where appropriate, discusses non-hormone treatment, local care for dryness and changes in daily habits.
Cancer screening recommended for your age
Depending on your age and previous results, the doctor may recommend mammography or a breast ultrasound and cervical screening with a smear and HPV test. Other screening, for example for bowel cancer, can be added as part of a wider check-up.

Frequently asked questions
What helps with hot flushes during the menopause?
Hot flushes often become milder over time, although for some women they continue for years. Light layered clothing, a cooler bedroom, regular exercise and less alcohol and caffeine help some women. When flushes disturb sleep or work, the gynaecologist may discuss hormone therapy or non-hormone medicines, choosing according to your health and preferences.
Can I have a hormone replacement therapy consultation in Baku?
Yes. A gynaecologist or gynaecologist-endocrinologist can discuss hormone therapy with you after an examination and the tests they consider necessary. They take into account your symptoms, age, time since the last period and your personal and family history, explain the possible benefits and risks, and decide together with you whether it suits you. Follow-up continues with your own doctor at home.
Which tests are included in a menopause check-up?
There is no single fixed list. Usually it includes a gynaecological examination with ultrasound, a cervical smear, breast imaging and blood tests, and the doctor may add a bone density scan, an ECG and checks of cholesterol and blood sugar. The final list depends on your age, symptoms and the results you already have.
How many days do I need in Baku?
Most tests and consultations usually fit into 2 to 4 days, as some results take a day or two. If the doctor recommends further tests, the stay may be longer. The doctor confirms the plan after reviewing your documents, and an online consultation with a doctor can be booked before travelling.
How much does a menopause check-up in Baku cost?
The cost depends on the consultations and tests you need, whether imaging such as mammography or a bone density scan is included, and how long you stay. Once we have reviewed your reports, we send a written estimate showing what is included, so you can make a decision before booking.
