Yi TCM Introduces Women’s Wellness Starter Session Ahead of World Menopause Day 2026

Ahead of World Menopause Day on October 18, 2026, Singapore's Traditional Chinese Medicine clinic Yi TCM is launching the Women's Wellness Starter Session to assist women in comprehending the physical and well-being transformations they may encounter during midlife. This initiative follows studies that have revealed joint and muscle discomfort to be prevalent among Singaporean women going through menopause.

Yi TCM emphasizes that muscle and joint pain are often overlooked as symptoms of menopause, instead frequently being perceived as mere wear and tear or ageing. With Singapore's average age of natural menopause being 49 years, compared to two years later in many Western countries, the clinic highlights the significant consequences of disregarding these symptoms.

TCM is a favored approach among 1 in 5 adults in Singapore, often used in combination with Western medicine. Yi TCM's TCM practitioners use customized treatments like acupuncture and herbal remedies to cater to individual symptom patterns and internal imbalances, aiming to alleviate joint and muscle pain, alongside other menopausal symptoms such as fatigue, reduced muscle strength, and sleep disturbances.

The clinic advises women to consult medical professionals for severe or persistent symptoms to ensure appropriate management of their health during the menopausal transition.
