Menopause

Expert Care for a Smooth Transition

Menopause is a natural phase in a woman’s life, marking the end of menstrual cycles. It usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, but every woman experiences it differently. While some go through it smoothly, others may face hot flashes, mood swings, sleep disturbances, and other symptoms. At Manasa Hospital, we provide specialized menopause care to help women transition comfortably and maintain their overall well-being.

Understanding Menopause

Menopause occurs when the ovaries stop producing estrogen and progesterone, leading to the end of menstruation. It happens in three stages:

• Perimenopause – The phase leading up to menopause, where periods become irregular, and symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings may begin.
• Menopause – When a woman has gone 12 consecutive months without a period, marking the official transition.
• Postmenopause – The years after menopause, when symptoms may reduce but health risks like osteoporosis and heart disease increase.

Common Symptoms of Menopause

• Irregular periods before they stop completely
• Hot flashes and night sweats causing discomfort
• Mood swings, anxiety, and depression
• Sleep disturbances and fatigue
