Menopause Clinic
Menopause is a natural biological process marking the end of a woman’s menstrual cycles, typically occurring between the age of 45 and 55. It is diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period. Menopause is the result of decline in ovarian function, leading to reduced levels of estrogen and progesterone, which can cause a variety of physical, emotional, and hormonal changes.
Gynecologists play a crucial role in helping women manage menopause by offering support, guidance, and treatment to alleviate symptoms and promote overall well-being. Dr. Bharati Morey has a talk on AGING GRACEFULLY! on her Youtube channel (Bharti Morey). Going through this presentation will definitely help you in ageing gracelly.
