I want Yao Medical Spectrum to be a place women trust through every stage of their lives, not only when something is wrong, but also as their health needs change over time. RW: What led you to expand your practice from obstetrics and gynecology into broader women’s health and medical aesthetics? GY: Part of it came from going through these stages myself. Now that I’ve entered menopause, I under- stand women’s concerns about health, beauty, energy, and quality of life in a different way. For years, I helped women bring new life into the world. Now I want to keep caring for those women through the rest of their lives. Women’s health shouldn’t stop with pregnancy and childbirth. It includes postpartum recovery, menopause, healthy aging, and everything in between. I’m interested in lifelong care, not just one treatment. RW: At what age should women start paying serious attention to hormonal changes and menopause? GY: I don’t think women need to wait until meno- pause. If your periods change, your sleep gets worse, your mood shifts, you’re unusually tired, or you start having hot flashes, it’s worth getting evaluated. Menopause management doesn’t mean every woman needs hormone therapy. It depends on her symptoms, age, overall health, and risk factors. The point is to address these changes as they begin, rather than wait- ing until a health problem develops. RW: How do you think about beauty and aging, and where do you draw the line with medical aesthetics? GY: Everyone gets older. It’s a natural part of life. But accepting aging doesn’t mean giving up on yourself. I believe medical aesthetics should be natural and measured. It’s still medicine. My job isn’t to say yes to every request. If a procedure raises a safety concern, or the result has gone beyond what looks natural and harmonious, I’ll advise the patient not to do it. More isn’t always better. 我希望 Yao Medical Spectrum 成为一个女性在人生每个阶段都可以信 任的地方。不是只有身体出现问题时才来,而是在她们的健康需求随着时 间变化时,也能一直陪伴她们。 RW: 是什么促使您从妇产科,进一步拓展到更广义的女性健康与医疗美 容领域? GY:一部分原因来自我自己也正在经历这些人生阶段。现在我进入了更年 期,对女性在健康、美丽、精力和生活质量方面的担忧,有了不一样的理解。 过去很多年,我帮助女性把新生命带到这个世界。现在,我希望继续陪伴这 些女性走过人生之后的阶段。女性健康不应该止步于怀孕和分娩。它包括 产后恢复、更年期、健康老龄化,以及其中的每一个阶段。我感兴趣的是贯 穿一生的照护,而不只是某一次治疗。 RW:女性应该从什么年龄开始认真关注荷尔蒙变化和更年期? GY:我不认为女性一定要等到真正进入更年期才开始关注。如果你的月经 发生变化,睡眠变差,情绪开始波动,感到异常疲惫,或者开始出现潮热,就 值得做一次评估。 更年期管理并不意味着每一位女性都需要荷尔蒙治疗。它取决于她的症状、 年龄、整体健康状况以及风险因素。重点是,在这些变化刚开始出现时就去 面对,而不是等到健康问题真正形成之后才处理。 RW:您如何看待美丽与衰老?在医疗美容方面,您会如何把握边界? GY:每个人都会变老,这是生命自然的一部分。但接受衰老,并不意味着放 弃自己。 我相信医疗美容应该是自然的、有分寸的。它依然是医学。我的工作不是对 每一个要求都说“可以”。如果某个项目存在安全隐患,或者效果已经超出 了自然与和谐的范围,我会建议患者不要做。更多,并不总是更好。 114 BALLIET + WANG LUXURY LIVING
