Menopause is a natural stage of life, but the hot flashes, broken sleep, mood changes and discomfort that come with it should not be something you simply put up with. At Vertex Clinics, we offer caring and individualised menopause treatment in Salunke Vihar, Kondhwa, starting with a careful listen to your symptoms and a clear explanation of what is happening in your body. Our aim is to help you feel comfortable, stay healthy and approach this new phase with confidence.
Menopause is the point when a woman has had no menstrual period for 12 consecutive months, marking the end of her natural reproductive years.
It happens because the ovaries gradually produce less oestrogen and progesterone. It is a normal part of ageing and not a disease, although its symptoms can affect daily life.
Most women reach menopause between 45 and 55 years, and studies suggest that many Indian women reach it somewhat earlier than women in Western countries.
Menopause before 40 is called premature menopause, and between 40 and 45 it is called early menopause. If you notice menopausal symptoms at a younger age, please consult a gynaecologist so the cause can be evaluated.
Perimenopause is the transition phase before menopause, when hormone levels fluctuate and periods become irregular. It can last several years.
During this time, you may notice changes in cycle length, flow, mood and sleep, even though periods have not stopped. Pregnancy is still possible in this phase, so contraception may still be needed.
Common symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, irregular periods, sleep problems, mood changes, vaginal dryness, urinary symptoms, reduced sexual comfort, fatigue and difficulty concentrating.
Other changes you may notice:
Not every woman has all of these, and severity varies widely.
See a gynaecologist if symptoms disturb your sleep, work or relationships, if you have heavy or very frequent bleeding, or if you are under 45 and your periods are changing.
Bleeding after menopause is never normal. If you have any vaginal bleeding after 12 months without periods, please consult a doctor promptly so the cause can be checked.
In most women over 45, menopause is diagnosed from your age, symptoms and menstrual history, and blood tests are often not required.
Hormone tests may be advised if you are younger than 45, if your symptoms are unusual, or if other conditions such as thyroid disease need to be excluded. Our evaluation may also include blood pressure, weight, blood sugar, cholesterol and thyroid checks, to understand your overall health.
Treatment is personalised and may include lifestyle changes, non-hormonal medicines, local vaginal treatment and menopausal hormone therapy when it is suitable for you.
We choose the plan with you, based on your symptoms, medical history and preferences. Our menopause treatment approach includes:
Please do not start or stop any hormonal or herbal product on your own.
For many healthy women who start it around the time of menopause, hormone therapy is an effective and acceptable treatment for troublesome symptoms. Its safety depends on your age, health history and the type and duration of treatment.
Hormone therapy is most helpful for hot flashes and night sweats. It is usually not recommended for women with a history of breast cancer, unexplained vaginal bleeding, blood clots or active liver disease. We discuss benefits and risks in plain language, review your history carefully and use the lowest effective dose for the shortest time needed.
Vaginal moisturisers, lubricants and low-dose local vaginal treatment can relieve dryness and discomfort, and pelvic floor exercises can help urinary symptoms.
These symptoms are common and treatable, yet many women hesitate to mention them. Our consultations are private and unhurried, so please feel free to talk openly.
Adequate calcium and vitamin D, protein, weight-bearing exercise, a healthy weight, no smoking and regular health checks help protect bones and heart health after menopause.
Lower oestrogen levels increase the risk of osteoporosis and heart disease. We may advise a bone density test depending on your age and risk factors, and we monitor blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol.
Regular exercise, a balanced diet, good sleep habits, stress management and avoiding triggers such as spicy food, alcohol and smoking can reduce symptoms and improve overall wellbeing.
Helpful steps include:
Regular blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and thyroid checks, along with cervical screening and breast screening as advised, help detect health problems early.
Your gynaecologist will advise the right schedule for you. Routine check-ups matter more at this stage, since the risk of several conditions rises with age.
Yes, until menopause is confirmed. Pregnancy remains possible during perimenopause, so your doctor will advise when it is safe to stop contraception.
Choose a gynaecologist who listens without hurry, explains options clearly and respects your preferences.
