MENOPAUSE CLINIC
All women after a certain age stop getting their periods, a term which we call as menopause. The Indian women on an average stop getting their periods around 51 years of age but a few years prior to it there is a phase called climacteric where the menopausal symptoms start appearing and the periods get a bit haywire. It is this time when women need lot of support and counselling as to what is normal and what is not as at this age women are at a higher chance of getting cancers. Menopause is that time of the women’s life when her ovaries stop producing the female hormone estrogen. As the estrogen levels in the body decreases there is an irregularity in the menses which sets in.
Most of the women with menopause experience these symptoms
- Irregular or no menstrual periods
- Hot flashes
- Night sweats
- Osteoporosis
- Changes in sleep patterns
- Fatigue
- Headaches
- Muscle and joint pain
- Vaginal dryness
- Mood swings, depression and anxiety.
Most of the women in menopause require a support group for these symptoms and hence we aim in giving a complete medical as well as holistic approach to menopause and do various cancer screening programs and camps for our patients.
