Menopause Care in Bangalore
Genesiss Multi-Speciality Hospital, BTM Layout

Introduction

Menopause is not a disease, but the way your body experiences it can feel overwhelming.
Many women in their late 40s and early 50s begin to notice changes such as irregular periods, sudden mood swings, sleep disturbances, weight gain, and hot flashes. These symptoms are often ignored or considered a normal part of aging without proper understanding.
What many women do not realize is that unmanaged menopause can significantly affect bone health, heart health, mental well-being, and overall quality of life.
At Genesiss Multi-Speciality Hospital, BTM Layout, menopause care focuses on symptom management, hormonal balance, and long-term health protection through personalized treatment plans tailored to each individual.

What Is Menopause and When Does It Start

Menopause is defined as the stage when menstrual periods stop permanently for 12 consecutive months.
It typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55.

There are three phases:

Perimenopause

Transition phase with irregular periods and noticeable symptoms

Menopause

Complete cessation of periods

Postmenopause

Stage after menopause where symptoms may continue but can be managed

Why Do Menopause Symptoms Feel So Intense

The primary reason is hormonal change.
There is a gradual decline in estrogen levels, which affects multiple systems in the body.

This leads to:

• Hot flashes
• Night sweats
• Mood changes
• Sleep disturbances
• Vaginal dryness

Each woman experiences menopause differently depending on her body, lifestyle, and overall health.

What Are the Most Common Symptoms of Menopause

Why am I having irregular periods before menopause

Periods may become shorter, longer, or unpredictable during the transition phase.

What are hot flashes and why do they happen

Sudden feeling of heat, sweating, and flushing of the face due to hormonal fluctuations.

Why am I feeling anxious or irritable

Hormonal imbalance affects brain chemicals responsible for mood regulation.

Why is sleep disturbed during menopause

Night sweats and hormonal changes disrupt normal sleep cycles.

Why am I gaining weight without change in diet

Metabolism slows down during menopause, leading to gradual weight gain.

Can Menopause Affect Long-Term Health

Yes. This is often overlooked.

Menopause increases the risk of:

• Osteoporosis
• Heart disease
• Joint pain
• Memory issues

Early diagnosis and proper management can significantly reduce these risks.

How Is Menopause Diagnosed

Diagnosis is usually based on symptoms and age.

In some cases, tests may include:

• Hormonal blood tests
• Thyroid function tests
• Bone density tests

These tests help rule out other conditions and assess overall health status.

What Are the Treatment Options for Menopause

Treatment depends on the severity of symptoms and overall health condition.

This is one of the most effective treatments.
It helps replace declining estrogen levels.

Benefits include:

• Reduction in hot flashes
• Improved sleep

It is prescribed only after thorough medical evaluation.
