Hormonal changes are a natural part of aging for both men and women. While menopause marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years, andropause—often referred to as male menopause—represents a gradual decline in testosterone levels in men. Both conditions can significantly affect physical health, emotional well-being, and sexual function.

At Rahee Health Care, Bibwewadi, Pune, Dr. Veena Chaudhari, Consultant Senior Urogynecologist, and Dr. Rajeev Chaudhari, Consultant Urosurgeon & Andrologist, offer specialized, holistic management for menopause and andropause. Their integrated approach combines medical expertise, hormonal balance therapy, and lifestyle guidance to help patients regain vitality and quality of life.

Understanding Menopause and Andropause

What is Menopause?

Menopause is the natural cessation of menstrual cycles due to declining estrogen and progesterone production. It typically occurs between ages 45–55, but symptoms may begin earlier during the perimenopausal phase.

Common Symptoms of Menopause:

  • Irregular or missed periods

  • Hot flashes and night sweats

  • Mood swings, anxiety, and irritability

  • Vaginal dryness and discomfort during intercourse

  • Weight gain, especially around the abdomen

  • Sleep disturbances and fatigue

  • Decreased libido

While menopause is a natural transition, the associated hormonal changes can lead to significant discomfort and health risks such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular issues, and urinary incontinence.


What is Andropause?

Andropause refers to the gradual reduction of testosterone levels in men, typically beginning after age 40. Unlike menopause, the change is more gradual and often goes undiagnosed.

Common Symptoms of Andropause:

  • Low energy and persistent fatigue

  • Reduced libido and erectile dysfunction

  • Depression, irritability, or brain fog

  • Loss of muscle mass and increased body fat

  • Decreased bone density

  • Sleep disturbances

These changes can impact not only sexual health but also overall physical performance and emotional stability.


Diagnosis: Identifying Hormonal Imbalance Early

Accurate diagnosis is crucial for managing menopause and andropause effectively. At Rahee Health Care, Dr. Veena and Dr. Rajeev Chaudhari conduct comprehensive assessments, including:

  • Detailed Medical History & Symptom Analysis

  • Hormonal Profile Testing: Estrogen, Progesterone, Testosterone, FSH, LH, and Thyroid Hormones

  • Bone Density Scan (DEXA) to assess osteoporosis risk

  • Pelvic & Reproductive Organ Evaluation for women

  • Prostate and Testicular Health Evaluation for men

Early identification of hormonal decline allows timely and effective management, preventing long-term complications.
