The Best Clinic for Menopause Treatment in Tilaknagar

Menopause is a natural biological ageing process that every woman goes through in her life. When a woman reaches this stage in her life, she stops menstruating as the ovaries stop producing hormones that aid reproduction.

If you do not have periods consecutively for 12 months, you are diagnosed as being in menopause, meaning the end of your menstrual cycle. It also marks the natural end to women's fertility.

Typically, menopause occurs in women who are between 45 and 55 years of age. However, it can occur before age 45 or after age 55. Menopausal women experience various uncomfortable symptoms. Most women may not require any treatment for menopause, but some women who experience severe symptoms may need treatment.

Three Stages of Menopause
Perimenopause
The three to five years before menopause are referred to as the perimenopause period. During this stage, oestrogen and other hormone levels in your body begin to drop. Typically, women enter this stage during their mid to late 40s, and their menstrual cycles become irregular.

Menopause
You are said to be in menopause when you have missed your menstrual cycle for 12 straight months. The transition from the perimenopause stage to menopause can take up to seven years, depending on your lifestyle, smoking habits, and alcohol consumption. Each woman is different and unique, and, therefore, the menopause symptoms they experience will also be different.

Events other than ageing normally that can lead to early menopause include:

Hysterectomy (surgical removal of the uterus)

Oophorectomy (surgical removal of the ovaries)

Premature Ovarian Failure - underactive/inactive ovaries because of genetics, surgery, cancer treatments, insufficient follicles, or ovarian dysfunction

Postmenopause
The postmenopause stage starts after one full year of missed periods after the last menstrual cycle. The symptoms that often start during the perimenopause stage continue through the menopause and postmenopause stages.

These symptoms may include:

Hot flashes

Night sweats

Elevated heart rate

Sleep disturbances (insomnia)

Mood changes like irritability, anxiety, and depression

Increased urination

Urinary issues

Vaginal dryness which often causes discomfort during sex

Weight gain

Headaches

Joint and muscle pain

Thinning or loss of hair

Difficulty concentrating

Memory problems

Reduced libido

Dry skin, eyes, and mouth

Tender or sore

Reduction in muscle mass

Stiff or painful joints

Reduction in bone mass

Increased hair growth on the face, neck, upper back, and chest

Commonly occurring complications of menopause are:

Painful intercourse

A slowdown of metabolic function

Menopause Treatment
Most menopausal women do not need any kind of treatment. However, you may require treatment if you have severe symptoms and they are affecting the quality of your life.

For women below 60 years of age or within 10 years of the onset of menopause, doctors may recommend hormone therapy as an effective treatment. This helps reduce and manage symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal atrophy, osteoporosis, etc.

Your doctor may prescribe other medications to treat specific menopause symptoms, such as hair loss, etc. Your doctor may recommend vaginal oestrogen therapy as another menopause treatment depending on your situation.

It involves supplying the vagina with oestrogen hormone in small doses to relieve pain during sexual intercourse and vaginal dryness.
