Menopause & Perimenopause Care in Indirapuram

Overview

A menopause consultation begins with your symptoms and how they affect you, then reviews bleeding patterns, bone-health risk, cardiovascular risk and screening status. Treatment is individualised: some women need reassurance and lifestyle advice; others benefit greatly from menopausal hormone therapy (MHT/HRT), which is safe and effective for most healthy women within ten years of menopause; and non-hormonal options exist for those who cannot or prefer not to use hormones.

Frequently asked questions

Is hormone replacement therapy safe?

For most healthy women under 60 or within 10 years of menopause, the benefits of MHT for symptoms and bone health outweigh the risks. It is not suitable for everyone — for example, after certain cancers or clots — which is why an individual assessment is essential.

How long do menopause symptoms last?

Hot flushes last an average of 4–7 years, longer in some women. Vaginal symptoms tend to persist without treatment.

Do I still need Pap smears after menopause?

Cervical screening usually continues until around age 65, depending on your previous results.
