Menopause Clinic

Overview

Menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years. It is defined as the permanent cessation of menstrual periods and is typically diagnosed after a woman has gone 12 months without a period. The average age for menopause is 51, but it can occur anywhere between the ages of 40 and 60.

The process of menopause is often referred to as “the change of life” and is characterized by a number of physical, emotional, and psychological symptoms. The most common symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood swings, and sleep disturbances.

The Menopause Clinic at SRV Hospitals aims to help the women going through the changes in their body due to menopause.

At SRV Hospitals, we are dedicated to providing top-notch care to our patients.

Conditions

A menopause clinic specializes in providing care and support for women who are experiencing menopause, which is the natural transition from reproductive to non-reproductive years. Some of the conditions that may require a visit to a menopause clinic include:

Hot flashes and night sweats

Menopause can cause sudden and intense feelings of heat, often accompanied by sweating.

Vaginal dryness and discomfort

Menopause can cause changes to the vaginal tissues that can lead to dryness, itching, and discomfort during sex.

Urinary problems

Menopause can cause changes to the urinary tract that can lead to frequent urination, urgency, and incontinence.

Sleep disturbances

Menopause can cause sleep disturbances, such as insomnia and waking up frequently during the night.

Mood changes

Menopause can cause changes in mood, such as irritability, anxiety, and depression.

Bone loss

Menopause can increase the risk of osteoporosis, a condition in which bones become weak and brittle.

Cardiovascular disease

Menopause can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, which is a leading cause of death in women.

At a menopause clinic, healthcare providers may use a variety of diagnostic tests and imaging studies to evaluate hormonal imbalances and other factors that contribute to menopausal symptoms. Treatment options for menopause may include hormone replacement therapy (HRT), which can help alleviate hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and other symptoms. Non-hormonal treatments, such as medications and lifestyle changes, may also be recommended to help manage menopausal symptoms. The menopause clinic may also provide education and support for patients and their families to help manage the physical and emotional aspects of menopause.

Symptoms

During perimenopause, a woman may experience irregular periods, hot flashes, night sweats, and other symptoms. These symptoms can be severe and can last for several years. Some women may also experience mood swings, sleep disturbances, and difficulty concentrating. As the ovaries produce less estrogen, the vaginal walls become thinner and less elastic, leading to vaginal dryness and pain during intercourse.

During menopause, a woman’s hormone levels have dropped significantly, and her periods have stopped permanently. The symptoms of perimenopause may continue, but they typically become less severe. Some women may experience an improvement in symptoms, while others may continue to experience them.

Postmenopause is the stage following menopause, during which a woman is no longer experiencing the symptoms associated with menopause. However, women in postmenopause are at an increased risk for certain health problems, such as osteoporosis and heart disease.

Advance Treatments with SRV Hospitals

Menopause can have a significant impact on a woman’s quality of life, but there are several treatment options available to help alleviate the symptoms. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is one of the most common treatments for menopause. HRT involves taking estrogen and progesterone to replace the hormones that are no longer being produced by the ovaries. HRT can be taken in pill form, as a skin patch, or as a gel. It can help to alleviate hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness, but it is not recommended for all women, as it can increase the risk of certain health problems, such as breast cancer and heart disease.

Other treatments for menopause include:

It is important to discuss all of your treatment options with your healthcare provider to determine what is best for you.

In addition to treatment, SRV Hospitals also believes it is important for women to take steps to maintain their overall health during and after menopause. This includes regular exercise, eating a healthy diet, getting enough sleep, and managing stress. Regular check-ups with your healthcare provider are also important to monitor for any potential health problems.

FAQ’s

The onset of menopause typically begins in women during their late 40s or early 50s. However, certain factors such as surgery, cancer treatment, or family genetics may cause menopause to occur earlier than expected.

During and post menopause a vast range of changes occur in the body. You may start experiencing symptoms that disrupt the emotional, physical or mental rhythms of your life. Therefore, it is advisable to visit a specialist at SRV Hospitals in order to embark on this new journey smoothly.
