GKNM Hospital’s Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology launched “Menopause Clinic” for the wellbeing of Women. The clinic was inaugurated by the chief guest Dr. Sumathi, President of Madurai Menopause Society, presided over by Dr. Ragupathy Veluswamy, Chief Executive Officer of GKNM Hospital, Dr. Amutha Giridhar, Chairperson of Obstetrics and Gynaecology on August 10th at GKNM iOP auditorium.

The objective of the launch of Menopause Clinic, is to support women through the significant hormonal and social changes of menopause. With the global population of menopausal women expected to reach 1.2 billion by 2030, specialized care is more critical than ever.

In India, women typically experience menopause between ages 45 and 55, spending about 25% of their lives in this phase. Common symptoms include anxiety, hot flashes, sleep problems, irritability, fatigue, and heart issues.

Our clinic provides comprehensive support, including counseling on lifestyle changes, exercise, hormonal therapy, and treatments such as SSRIs, bisphosphonates, and calcium supplements. Regular hormone investigations and annual check-ups are integral to our approach, helping women live healthier, happier lives.

Our new Menopause Clinic is here to ensure women navigate this transition with the care and support they deserve
