Menopause & Perimenopause Care in Hinjewadi, Pune
Menopause is a natural stage of life, not an illness, and the years around it can be managed with the right support.

Women from Hinjewadi Phases 1–3, Wakad, Punawale, Tathawade and Life Republic Township are welcome at the evening OPD.
What happens during perimenopause and menopause?
Perimenopause is the transition phase, often in the 40s, when periods become irregular and hormone levels shift. Menopause is confirmed after twelve months without a period, usually around the late 40s to early 50s. During this time you may notice hot flushes, night sweats, disturbed sleep, mood changes, vaginal dryness, reduced libido or changes in your cycle before periods finally stop.
Every woman's experience is different. Some have mild symptoms that settle on their own, while others find daily life affected. A consultation helps you understand what is happening in your body and what, if anything, needs attention.
How can menopause symptoms be managed?
Care begins with a detailed history and examination to understand your symptoms, medical background and any other health conditions. Where appropriate, simple blood tests may be advised to build a fuller picture.
Management is tailored to you and may include lifestyle and dietary guidance, advice on sleep, exercise and calcium-rich nutrition, and treatment of specific concerns such as vaginal dryness or urinary symptoms. Menopausal hormone therapy and non-hormonal options are discussed honestly, covering who they may suit and their considerations, so you can make an informed decision. The aim is comfort and quality of life, at a pace you are comfortable with.
Why does bone and heart health matter at menopause?
After menopause, falling oestrogen can affect bone density and cardiovascular health, so this stage is a good time for preventive care. Consultations include guidance on bone health, weight-bearing activity and nutrition, along with advice on when tests such as bone density screening or lipid and blood pressure checks may be useful for you.
Managing blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol early helps you stay well in the years ahead. Any findings that need specialist input are referred appropriately through attached hospitals in the Hinjewadi area.
What preventive check-ups are advised in mid-life?
Mid-life is an ideal time to keep routine women's health checks up to date. Depending on your age and history, these may include cervical screening, a clinical breast examination with advice on mammography where relevant, and a pelvic assessment. Any abnormal bleeding after menopause is always reviewed carefully, as it should never be ignored.
Regular follow-up means concerns are picked up early and you feel supported rather than anxious about this stage of life.
Frequently asked questions
At what age does menopause usually happen?
Menopause commonly occurs between the late 40s and early 50s, with perimenopause often beginning a few years earlier. The exact age varies from woman to woman. A consultation can help you understand where you are in the transition.
Is any bleeding after menopause normal?
Bleeding that occurs after you have completed twelve months without a period should always be reviewed by a doctor. It is often due to minor causes, but it is important to have it assessed rather than assume the cause.
Do I have to take hormone therapy for menopause?
No. Hormone therapy is one option, not a requirement. Many women manage well with lifestyle measures and treatment of specific symptoms. Dr Bhavna discusses the options honestly so you can choose what suits you.
