Menopause Treatment in Bandra East

Menopause hits every woman eventually, and it’s rarely simple. Hot flashes, mood swings, nights you just can’t sleep through it all adds up and starts bleeding into your work, your relationships, everything. If you’re in Bandra East, Dr. Snehal Patil is a gynecologist who works with women through perimenopause and menopause and tailors care to what you’re going through, rather than handing out the same advice to everyone.

Visits usually start with a conversation about your symptoms and your history before figuring out next steps, whether that’s lifestyle tweaks, medication, or just keeping an eye on things over time. And if something feels off, especially unexpected bleeding, don’t just wait it out. Get it checked.

What Causes Menopause?

Menopause happens when the ovaries slowly make less oestrogen and progesterone, until periods stop for good. It’s usually confirmed after 12 months without a period, with no other cause behind it.

Before that comes perimenopause, hormones fluctuate, and periods often turn irregular before stopping completely. It’s a very different stage from pregnancy care or fertility planning, but the same attention to a woman’s changing hormones applies throughout, from pregnancy right through to menopause.

Common symptoms include:

Irregular periods

Hot flushes and night sweats

Trouble sleeping

Mood swings

Vaginal dryness

Changes in sex drive

Brain fog

Low or shifting energy

Every woman’s menopause journey looks different, and care should reflect that. My approach is about listening first, then building a plan around what she actually needs, not a standard checklist.” — Dr. Snehal Patil

What Are the Three Stages of Menopause?

Menopause is a gradual process rather than a sudden change. It usually unfolds over time and is divided into three stages.



Perimenopause

This is the transition leading up to menopause. Hormone levels begin to fluctuate, which can cause irregular periods, hot flashes, sleep changes, and mood changes.



Menopause

Menopause is reached when a woman has not had a menstrual period for 12 consecutive months. Symptoms may continue even after periods stop.



Postmenopause

This is the stage after menopause. Some symptoms may gradually improve, while long-term health concerns such as bone and heart health become more important to monitor.
