Menopause & Perimenopause Care

Empathetic, evidence-based management to help you navigate hormonal transitions smoothly and protect your long-term vitality.

Embracing the Transition

Understanding Menopause

Menopause is a natural biological process marking the end of a woman's reproductive years, officially diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period. The years leading up to this point (perimenopause) can bring fluctuating hormones and unpredictable symptoms. Dr. Deepthi's approach focuses on minimizing discomfort while actively preventing age-related health risks.

⏳

Perimenopause

The transitional phase, usually starting in a woman's 40s. Estrogen levels rise and fall unevenly, leading to irregular periods, hot flashes, and mood changes.

🦋

Postmenopause

The phase of life after menopause has occurred. The focus shifts toward maintaining bone density, cardiovascular health, and pelvic floor strength.

Frequently Asked Questions

For most healthy women under the age of 60 or within 10 years of menopause onset, the benefits of HRT (relief from severe symptoms and bone protection) generally outweigh the risks.
