Menopause Treatment Doctor in Gurgaon

Before starting treatment for menopause, your doctor will perform a physical exam and review your medical history. It will help determine the best treatment option for your symptoms and overall health. Your doctor may also recommend specific lifestyle changes, such as regular exercise and a healthy diet, to help alleviate the symptoms of menopause.

The treatment process for menopause varies depending on the individual's symptoms and overall health. Hormone therapy is the most effective treatment for menopause symptoms, but it is inappropriate for all women.

Lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, a healthy diet, stress management, and adequate sleep can also help alleviate the symptoms of menopause.

• Vaginal estrogen creams, lubricants, or moisturizers for vaginal dryness.
