Frequently asked questions
Can an endocrinologist help with menopause?
Yes. An endocrinologist manages the hormonal changes of menopause and their effects on bones, metabolism and wellbeing. Dr. Ajay Shukla provides evidence-based menopause and female hormone care at Hormone India, Lucknow.
What helps with menopause symptoms?
Lifestyle measures, bone-protective steps and, for suitable women, medical therapy can significantly ease hot flushes, sleep and mood symptoms. The right option depends on your health, so it is decided individually.
Why do I gain weight during menopause?
Falling hormone levels shift how the body stores fat, often around the abdomen, and can slow metabolism. A tailored plan addressing hormones, diet and activity helps manage menopausal weight gain.
