Dr. Indumathi Thayar helps women navigate this transition with personalised guidance on symptom management, hormone therapy where appropriate, and long-term bone health.
Common Concerns Addressed
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Mood changes and sleep disruption
- Vaginal dryness and discomfort
- Bone density and osteoporosis risk
- Heart health considerations after menopause
Our Approach
Care is personalised based on your symptoms, medical history, and preferences. Options are discussed together, and typically include a combination of the following:
- Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) — where suitable, to manage hot flashes, night sweats, and other symptoms
- Non-hormonal medication — for women who prefer not to use HRT or aren't candidates for it
- Lifestyle guidance — diet, exercise, and sleep strategies that ease the transition
- Bone density screening — to monitor osteoporosis risk and guide preventive care
- Heart health monitoring — since cardiovascular risk changes after menopause
Frequently Asked Questions
Is hormone replacement therapy safe?
For many women, it is a safe and effective option — suitability depends on individual health history, which your doctor will assess before recommending it.
At what age does menopause typically begin?
Most women experience menopause between ages 45–55, though this varies. Perimenopause symptoms can begin years before periods stop completely.
Can menopause symptoms be managed without hormones?
Yes — lifestyle changes, non-hormonal medications, and other approaches can help manage symptoms for women who prefer not to use hormone therapy.
