Menopause

Menopause

Overview

Menopause is the natural end of a female's menstrual cycle. It occurs when female ovaries stop producing the estrogen and progesterone hormones. These hormones regulate the menstrual cycle. Menopause normally occurs between the ages of 40 years and 50 years, but in some cases, it can happen earlier or later. This stage brings a lot of physical as well as emotional changes in the life of every woman.

Menopause can cause a variety of symptoms, including hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood swings, and fatigue. There are a variety of treatments available to manage the signs of menopause.

We offer a variety of treatments for menopause, including hormone therapy, lifestyle changes, and counseling. We have a team of highly experienced doctors and nurses who specialize in menopause treatment. Our state-of-the-art facility is equipped with the latest technology to provide you with the best possible treatment.

During the menopause stage, you may begin experiencing some or all of the following signs:

  • Hot flashes: These are sudden and intense feelings of heat that can occur in the face, neck, chest, and other body parts. They can last for a few minutes or up to an hour.

  • Night sweats: These are hot flashes that occur at night while sleeping, leading to waking up sweaty.

  • Vaginal dryness: This is caused by a decrease in estrogen levels, which can lead to itching, burning, and pain during sex.

  • Mood swings: These can range from mild irritability to severe depression and can be caused by hormonal changes and stress.

  • Weight gain: This is often due to a decrease in metabolism and a change in body composition.

  • Sleep problems: These can include trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, and waking up during the night because of hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings.

  • Changes in periods: Irregular menstrual cycle or a complete stop in menstrual cycles.

  • Bone health: Decreased estrogen can affect bone density, potentially leading to osteoporosis.

If you are experiencing signs of menopause, you can book an appointment with the best menopause specialist near you for the best treatment for menopause.

The most common cause of menopause is aging. As females get older, their ovaries start producing less estrogen and progesterone, the hormones that regulate menstruation. But when the ovaries decline to produce these reproductive hormones, menstruation stops and menopause occurs.

Some of the causes of menopause are:

  • Surgical removal of the ovaries (oophorectomy)

  • Chemotherapy or radiation therapy for cancer

  • Autoimmune diseases, such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis

  • Certain genetic conditions

  • Smoking

The diagnosis of menopause depends on the history of the menstrual cycle and symptoms. The symptoms of menopause are not enough to confirm that you have started the menopausal transition. To diagnose Menopause, several blood tests can be done to measure the levels of hormones such as estradiol, Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and Luteinizing hormone (LH).

  • Estradiol: It is the primary female hormone that is produced by the ovaries. During menopause, the levels of estradiol reduce.

  • Follicle-Stimulating Hormone(FSH): This hormone stimulates the ovaries to produce eggs. During menopause, the level of FSH increases.

  • Luteinizing Hormone(LH): It is a hormone that helps to regulate the menstrual cycle. During menopause, the levels of LH also rise.

  • Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone(TSH): This hormone tells the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormone Because an under-active thyroid can cause signs similar to those of menopause.

There are a variety of treatment options available for menopause at Miracles Apollo Cradle to treat the signs of menopause. The best treatment for menopause depends on your symptoms, medical history, and preferences. 

Some of the best treatment options for menopause include:

Hormone Replacement Therapy(HRT):It is the most effective treatment for symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness.

Non-Hormonal Treatments: There are a variety of non-hormonal treatments available for the symptoms of menopause including medications, lifestyle modification, and complementary therapies.

  • Lifestyle changes can improve the symptoms of menopause.

  • Regular exercise helps improve blood circulation, reduce hot flashes, and boost mood.

  • Enough sleep of 7-8 hours each night improves the symptoms of menopause

  • Eat a well-balanced and healthy diet that includes fruits, whole grains, and vegetables

  • Stress can worsen the symptoms of menopause. Choose healthy ways to manage stress, such as yoga, meditation, etc. to reduce the stress level.

There is no way to prevent menopause, but the complications and the symptoms of menopause can be managed easily by making a healthy lifestyle choice.

Here are some ways, you may follow to manage the complications of menopause:

  • Eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly can help to reduce the risk of developing chronic health conditions that are more common in females after menopause such as heart disease and osteoporosis.

  • Avoiding smoking helps to lower the risk of developing various chronic health issues as well as relieve some of the signs or symptoms of menopause.

  • Getting enough sleep and managing stress, also helps to reduce some of the symptoms of menopause.

The average age of menopause is 51, but it can happen at any time between 45 years and 55 years. Here are some risk factors, but not everyone with these risk factors, experiences early menopause:

  • Age: Menopause usually occurs between the ages of 45 years and 55 years, but it can happen earlier or later. Females who have natural menopause at the age of 45 are more likely to have risk factors for other health issues such as heart disease and osteoporosis.

  • Family History: A female with a family history of early menopause, you are more likely to have one yourself.

  • Smoking: Smoking can accelerate the decline in estrogen levels and lead to early menopause.

  • Certain Medical Conditions: Certain conditions like Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), premature ovarian failure, thyroid problems, etc. can increase the risk of early menopause.

  • Surgery: Having your ovaries or uterus removed can cause early menopause.

  • Radiation Therapy: Radiation therapy to the pelvis or abdomen can also cause early menopause.
