MENOPAUSE

Historically in India the age between 50-60 years is the busiest time of life for most women and hence most Women neglect their health due to other priorities.

Menopause ( periods stopping) is a natural biological process. Although it is a transition, it does not have to be an unpleasant experience. Surgical menopause follows after removal of ovaries.

During Menopause, fluctuating hormones can wreak havoc on women's lives, causing a wide range of symptoms from hot flushes and night sweats to vaginal dryness and mood swings.

Fortunately for YOU we here in Orange Hospital Tirupati provide Wellness in Menopause clinic to help your body through this transition by advising on hormonal and non hormonal options.

These simple lifestyle adjustments can help reduce and prevent Menopause symptoms and reestablish natural hormonal balance.

Eating right is always important, but it is especially essential during Menopause. A balanced diet supports balanced hormones. Be sure to incorporate the following into your daily diet:

• Vegetables and fruit
• Whole grains and legumes
• Lean meats, poultry and fish
• Calcium-rich foods to fight osteoporosis
• Soy, which contains plant estrogens
• Eight glasses of water

Exercising 20 to 60 minutes, 3 to 5 days a week will help maintain your heart health and can...

• Increase the body's production of endorphins, those feel-good hormones which can improve mood and reduce stress and anxiety.
• Decrease your risk of bone thinning or osteoporosis by increasing muscle, bone and joint mass, strength and flexibility.
• Promote better sleep.
• Healthy weight.
• Boost energy and vitality.
• Possibly reduce hot flashes. Research has shown that women who exercise experience less hot flashes than women who don't.

We encourage our women to have a health screening with blood pressure. Diabetes , cholesterol , thyroid and anaemia to detect problems early and ensure treatment to lead normal life .
