In this episode of the Hello Doctor podcast, host Sowjanya talks to Dr Chandrika about the important issue of why more women are experiencing early/ premature Menopause. An increasing number of women are experiencing early or premature menopause, which occurs before the age of 40. Several factors contribute to this phenomenon. Genetic predisposition plays a role, with a family history of early menopause increasing the likelihood. Certain medical treatments like chemotherapy and radiation therapy can damage the ovaries, leading to premature menopause. Autoimmune disorders and certain medical conditions, such as thyroid disease, can also trigger early menopause. Lifestyle factors like smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can accelerate ovarian decline. Understanding these factors is crucial for women's health, as early menopause can have implications for fertility, bone health, and overall well-being. Listen in.
