About Our Consultation
Tokyo Birth Clinic is a specialized menopausal care clinic that supports women’s futures. We offer the following menopausal care:
Hormone Test
We check hormone levels (e.g., estrogen) through blood tests. This is important for determining whether the changes are age-related or due to another underlying disease.
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
Symptoms are alleviated by supplementing the decreased levels of female hormones externally. You can choose a method—such as patches or oral medication—that suits your lifestyle.
Kampo Medicine Treatment
Kampo medicine is prescribed according to your constitution and concerns, offering a treatment approach with fewer side effects and straightforward continuation. It is recommended for individuals who experience sensitivity to cold, fatigue, swelling, or imbalances in the autonomic nervous system.
Placenta Therapy
An injection containing active ingredients derived from the placenta to enhance the body’s natural healing power and support hormone balance regulation. This treatment is also popular among those concerned about the luster of their skin and hair.

In Closing
The menopause period is a time of preparation to live the rest of your life to the fullest. Menopause is a time when a woman’s body and mind undergo significant fluctuations, triggered by the “change” of cessation of menstruation. However, it is also an “opportunity” to look inward and re-evaluate your life more deeply than before. Please do not dismiss your symptoms as “just due to age”—feel free to consult us. Tokyo Birth Clinic strives to create a comfortable medical environment for women of all generations.
