Menopause

Menopause marks a significant life transition as a woman’s menstrual cycles naturally end, often accompanied by hormonal fluctuations. At Sairam Hospital, we provide holistic menopause management, addressing physical, emotional, and hormonal changes to help women embrace this stage with confidence and comfort.

What is Menopause?

Menopause typically occurs between ages 45 and 55 when the ovaries stop producing estrogen and progesterone. This leads to the cessation of periods and may bring symptoms affecting bone, heart, and mental health.

What to Watch for?

Common symptoms include hot flashes, mood swings, irregular sleep, vaginal dryness, and reduced libido. Some women may also experience anxiety, weight changes, or memory lapses.

Diagnosis and Treatment:

Diagnosis involves hormone level testing, bone density scans, and overall health assessments. Treatment options include Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), lifestyle changes, stress management, and dietary support to maintain overall well-being.

When to see a doctor:

Consult a doctor if menopausal symptoms affect daily functioning, cause emotional distress, or if menopause occurs before age 40. Early care can prevent osteoporosis and cardiovascular risks.
