Understanding Menopause & Perimenopause
Menopause is a natural transition marking the end of a woman’s reproductive years, typically occurring between 45 and 55 years of age. The phase leading up to menopause, known as perimenopause, can last several years and is characterized by hormonal fluctuations. Symptoms like irregular periods, hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances can impact daily life. Dr. M. Keerthi Reddy provides expert care to help women navigate these changes with ease and maintain overall well-being.
Common Symptoms & Health Risks
During perimenopause and menopause, women may experience a variety of symptoms, including night sweats, vaginal dryness, reduced bone density, and weight gain. Hormonal imbalances can also increase the risk of osteoporosis, heart disease, and metabolic disorders. Dr. M. Keerthi Reddy offers personalized treatment plans, including hormone replacement therapy (HRT), lifestyle modifications, and nutritional counseling, to help manage symptoms and reduce long-term health risks.
Comprehensive Care & Management
Menopause is a significant life stage that requires proactive healthcare and emotional support. Regular health screenings, bone density assessments, and cardiovascular risk evaluations are essential for long-term well-being. Dr. M. Keerthi Reddy emphasizes holistic care, incorporating diet, exercise, and stress management strategies to help women embrace menopause with confidence and optimal health.
The first signs include irregular periods, hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and sleep disturbances. These symptoms may start in the late 30s or 40s and last for several years before menopause.
HRT is effective in managing menopausal symptoms but should be prescribed based on individual health risks. Women with a history of blood clots, breast cancer, or heart disease should consult their doctor for alternative treatments.
To prevent osteoporosis, focus on a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, engage in weight-bearing exercises, avoid smoking and excessive alcohol, and get regular bone density screenings. Medications may be recommended for high-risk individuals.
