Menopause is the time that marks the end of your menstrual cycles. It's diagnosed after you've gone 12 months without a menstrual period. Menopause can happen in your 40s or 50s, but the average age is 51 in India.

  1. Menopause Timing:

    • Stopping periods around age 49 is common and often indicates the onset of menopause.
    • Menopause typically occurs between ages 45 and 55.
  2. Symptoms:

    • You may experience hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, or sleep disturbances.
  3. Health Monitoring:

    • Regular health check-ups are important to manage symptoms and monitor bone and heart health.

If periods stop suddenly or unusual symptoms occur, consult a healthcare provider to rule out other causes. Stopping periods at this age is a natural part of aging for women.

I'm usually pretty regular with my periods, getting them on or before the due date. But this time, it's come a week late, and what's really worrying me is that I'm passing unusually large blood clots along with the normal bleeding. The amount of blood is also way more than I usually get. Is it normal to have clots like this, or should I be concerned about something?

What's the best way to permanently remove a rasoli from my uterus? I've heard about laser treatments are they an option for this, and how effective are they compared to other surgeries? I'm a bit worried about the recovery and long-term effects.

The most definitive way to permanently remove "rasoli" (uterin fibroids) from the uterus is hysterectomy, which involves removing the entire uterus. Myomectomy, which involves surgically removing only the fibroids while preserving the uterus, is another option, particularly if you want to maintain your fertility. Laser treatments, like those used for laser hair removal or in laparoscopic myomectomy, are not a primary treatment for fibroids and are not a definitive solution

How many days after period is safe?

The fertile days may last for up to 3-5 days after the end of your period. The chances of getting pregnant just after the period depend on how short the menstrual cycle is and how long the period lasts. If periods are long, women may only have a few days left after the period ends before fertile days begin.
