Entering post-menopause doesn’t mean the end of vitality – it’s the beginning of a new chapter where you can thrive with the right knowledge and support. At Dr. Lodaya Hospital in Haveri, we believe this phase of life brings opportunities for renewed focus on your health and well-being. Our comprehensive post-menopausal wellness program is designed to help you navigate this transition with confidence and grace.
Understanding Post-Menopause: A New Beginning
Post-menopause begins when you’ve gone 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period. While this transition brings changes, it also opens doors to new possibilities. The key is understanding what’s happening in your body and how to proactively manage your health.
Common Symptoms and Long-Term Health Considerations
Many women experience various symptoms during post-menopause, including:
- * Hot flashes and night sweats
- * Vaginal dryness and discomfort
- * Sleep disturbances
- * Mood changes and brain fog
