Are you going through Menopause? Learn about symptoms, and how to make the transition smooth

Are you going through Menopause? Learn about symptoms, and how to make the transition smooth by Dr. Rashmi Kulkarni and Dr. Anagha Karkhanis, Director of Cocoon Fertility Center, India
In this enlightening podcast episode, we're joined by Dr. Anagha Karkhanis, a distinguished gynecologist in India, to unravel the complexities of menopause and perimenopause. Menopause, often referred to as the "change of life," marks the end of a woman's reproductive years, while perimenopause encompasses the transitional period leading up to menopause.
Dr. Karkhanis starts by elucidating the typical symptoms experienced during perimenopause and menopause. From hot flashes and night sweats to mood swings and irregular periods, understanding these signs is paramount for women to recognize and manage this significant life transition effectively.
One striking revelation discussed is the shift in the age of onset of menopause, which is occurring earlier now compared to previous decades. Factors such as lifestyle changes, environmental influences, and stress levels contribute to this trend. Additionally, many women may not realize they are experiencing perimenopause or menopause, attributing symptoms to other causes or dismissing them altogether.
Moving on to treatment options, Dr. Karkhanis delves into various approaches to alleviate symptoms and promote well-being. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is explored as a viable option for managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness. However, she emphasizes the importance of individualized treatment plans and discusses potential risks associated with HRT.
Beyond medical interventions, lifestyle modifications play a pivotal role in navigating menopause gracefully. Dr. Karkhanis sheds light on the significance of adopting a balanced diet rich in nutrients, incorporating regular exercise into daily routines, and managing stress through relaxation techniques. These lifestyle changes not only help manage symptoms but also mitigate the risk of developing chronic diseases such as heart disease and osteoporosis.
An intriguing aspect discussed is the role of the gut microbiome in menopause. Dr. Karkhanis elucidates how imbalances in gut health can exacerbate symptoms and impact overall well-being. She explores the concept of gut microbiome reset through dietary interventions and probiotic supplementation as a potential strategy for alleviating menopausal symptoms and reducing the risk of chronic diseases.
Lastly, Dr. Karkhanis underscores the importance of regular health checks for women, especially during the menopausal transition. Routine screenings for conditions like osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and breast cancer are essential for early detection and timely intervention.
