What We Offer Book Session
Menopause is the permanent cessation of menses in a woman’s life. Typically it is diagnosed after 12 months of amenorrhoea ( no menses). It also marks the end of her fertlility (childbearing capabilities).
The most important feature of this state is that the hormone estrogen is no longer produced by the ovary (only very small amounts are produced from other sources) and this leads to a host of changes in the body.
A woman may experience a lot of physical and mental changes during this transition of life. Although a lot of women have mild symptoms and they brush it off as something inevitable and natural, many suffer from distressing symptoms (like hot flashes, mood swings or painful intercourse) or even major complications .
A large majority can make do with counselling and lifestyle modification while some women need to take treatment for emotional and sexual difficulties as well as urinary complaints (frequency and incontinence) .
Even women who do not experience symptoms or complications do need guidance to prevent long term complications like osteoporosis (weak bones) and atherosclerosis (heart disease and stroke).
Another important aspect of the menopausal transition is cancer screening as women at that age are at an increased risk for breast, ovarian and cervical cancer too.
