Menopause Treatment in Thane
Menopause
Menopause is a natural phase in a woman’s life that marks the end of menstrual cycles. It usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, although the timing may vary from person to person. Menopause is confirmed when a woman has not had a menstrual period for 12 consecutive months.
This transition happens due to gradual changes in hormone levels and may be associated with physical and emotional symptoms. With proper guidance and care, many women can manage these changes comfortably.
Dr. Nikita Kulkarni provides evaluation and guidance for women experiencing menopause, with care tailored to individual symptoms and health needs.

Women may experience different symptoms during menopause, such as:
- Irregular periods before menopause

- Sleep disturbances

Some women may experience mild symptoms, while others may require medical guidance.
