About Us
Panduan Menopaus is a bilingual education resource for Malaysian women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause. We write with citations and without false promises.
Why this site exists
Many Bahasa Malaysia menopause resources are still too generic, too clinical, or missing the realities Malaysian women face when they seek care, read product labels, compare halal information, and talk to doctors. We believe Malaysian women deserve guidance that uses local terminology, understands tropical-climate hot flashes, accounts for halal status on supplements, and respects public and private healthcare pathways.
Who is behind this site
Panduan Menopaus
Evidence review | Malaysia-specific menopause guidance | Source verification
Panduan Menopaus is written and maintained by an independent publisher focused on evidence-based, Malaysia-specific menopause education. We check primary sources, Malaysian clinical context, halal and Malaysian product registration details, and reader usefulness before publishing. A named clinician reviewer will appear only when that review has actually happened and is documented.
Who we are and are not
We collect, organize and explain menopause information using primary sources and Malaysian context. We do not provide medical care, sell consultations, or hide when a page has not yet received independent clinical review.
How we work
- Primary sources only: every claim cites PubMed, Cochrane, the North American Menopause Society, the International Menopause Society, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, the Ministry of Health Malaysia, MyHEALTH, the Obstetrical and Gynaecological Society of Malaysia, or the National Institutes of Health Malaysia.
- Halal status flagged: we tag each supplement as halal, contains bovine gelatin, contains porcine gelatin, or status unverified. We don't assume halal without evidence.
- Product registration numbers: MAL registration numbers shown when available; "not registered with Malaysia's National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency" when not.
- Affiliate disclosure: this is an educational resource site. We use Shopee affiliate links on some product recommendations and may earn a small commission from qualifying purchases, at no extra cost to you. Products are ordered by evidence and fit, not commission rate.
- Cultural context: Ramadan, Malay cultural sensitivities, and Malaysian women's lived experience inform the writing.
Not a substitute for a doctor
Information here is educational only. Consult a specialist (obstetrics and gynaecology, endocrinology, women's health) before treatment decisions, especially regarding hormone replacement therapy or prescription medication.
