Women’s health
Women are special as they can do unique things that a male cannot. A woman can give birth to a baby, which is a great moment for any individual.
Menstruation and menopause are two natural stages in a woman’s life. These alterations mark the beginning and end of fertility. Women’s mental and physical health demands are diverse and complicated, changing with age, fertility, and our surroundings. The majority of our doctors are interested in women’s health.
There are some major issues that might impact women’s health right from their birth to old age.

Menstruation
Menstruation is commonly called a period and is what adolescent girls and women of childbearing age usually experience as a blood flow from the vagina.
A build-up of blood causes it on the womb’s lining (uterus) in response to hormones.
Periods usually last between 3–7 days, with the blood flow usually starting heavy and getting lighter during this time. Most girls or women get their period once a month, but anywhere between every 3 and 6 weeks is normal.

Menopause
Menopause is a normal event in a woman’s life and occurs when the menstrual cycle stops permanently.
Menopause can be an unsettling time, depending on your symptoms, but some women go through menopause without any problems.
Most women reach menopause between 45 and 55. However, there is no set age or duration for menopause, and symptoms vary.
