Menopause
Menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years. It typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55 and is diagnosed when a woman has not had a menstrual period for 12 consecutive months. Menopause is caused by a gradual decline in the production of estrogen and progesterone hormones by the ovaries. Symptom intensity and the patient’s general state of health are taken into account while creating treatment programs for each patient.
Our gynaecologists at Chella IVF are well aware of the mental and emotional changes brought on by menopause. We provide comprehensive menopausal management solutions with a compassionate approach to assist women in moving through this time with the greatest possible well-being. Menopause can increase the risk of certain health conditions such as osteoporosis, heart disease, and stroke. Therefore, women must have regular health screenings and adopt healthy lifestyle habits to reduce their risk of these conditions.
