Menopause
Menopause
Menopause refers to the natural cessation of menstruation and fertility in women, typically occurring around the age of 45 to 55. It is characterized by a decline in hormone levels, particularly estrogen and progesterone, leading to symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. Management options include hormone therapy, lifestyle changes, and medications to alleviate symptoms and reduce long-term health risks.

Libido issues
Ovarian Cancer Screening:
While screening tests like transvaginal ultrasound and CA-125 blood tests exist, routine screening for ovarian cancer isn’t recommended due to the limitations of current methods and the relatively low incidence of the disease in the general population.
Libido Issues:
Low libido, often stemming from hormonal imbalances, psychological factors, medical conditions, or lifestyle habits, can be addressed through medical evaluation, counseling, hormone therapy, or lifestyle changes, depending on the underlying cause.
Cancer markers
Cancer markers are substances produced by cancer cells or the body in response to cancer. Detected in samples like blood, they help in diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring of cancer examples are CA- 15.3 for breast cancer & CA -125 for Ovarian Cancer
Hormone Replacement Therapy
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) uses hormones to alleviate symptoms of hormonal imbalance, particularly during menopause. It helps relieve symptoms like hot flashes and mood swings.
