1. What is Menopause?
Menopause is confirmed after 12 consecutive months without menstrual periods due to declining ovarian function. Globally, the average age is 51 years, but in India, it occurs earlier at 46.2-46.7 years. Perimenopause (transition phase) lasts 4-10 years with irregular periods; about 15% of Indian women experience premature menopause before age 40 (5% rural vs. 3% urban.
2. What are Common Symptoms?
Hot flashes and night sweats affect 61-80% of women globally and in India. Other frequent issues include musculoskeletal pain (84-89%), vaginal dryness, mood changes, fatigue, sleep disturbances, abdominal weight gain, plus long-term risks of osteoporosis and heart disease.
3. How is Menopause Diagnosed?
Diagnosis relies on symptoms, age, and menstrual history; FSH blood tests confirm if premature (under 40) or other causes suspected.
In India, awareness is 82.9%, but rural diagnosis lags; clinics use symptom questionnaires.
4. What Treatment Options Exist?
Menopausal hormone therapy (MHT/HRT) is first-line for severe symptoms if started within 10 years of menopause. In India: estrogen gels/oral tablets, testosterone patches available; transdermal patches limited; add progestin if uterus intact.
Non-hormonal options include SSRIs, gabapentin, lifestyle changes, and yoga.
5. Is MHT Safe?
Safe when initiated under 60/<10 years postmenopause: reduces mortality, fractures, diabetes, dementia; low stroke/clot risk in young users.
India usage 14-22%; benefits outweigh risks for most, with annual review.
6. What are Common MHT Side Effects and Risks for Indian Women?
7. What are Safer MHT Alternatives for Indian Women? (Latest IMS 2026 Guidelines)
Non-hormonal meds: SSRIs/SNRIs (50-60% hot flash reduction), gabapentin, fezolinetant (IMS Grade A for VMS).
Lifestyle: yoga/walking (30-50% relief), phytoestrogen diet (soy/flaxseeds), CBT/hypnosis (IMS Grade B).
Herbals: soy isoflavones, black cohosh (monitor liver; IMS cautious use).
IMS 2026 consensus: Prioritize non-hormonal for contraindications, combine therapies.
8. What Yoga Protocols Does the Indian Menopause Society Recommend?
IMS endorses integrated yoga (asanas + pranayama + meditation) daily 30-45 mins for symptom relief (Grade B).
Asanas (3-5 rounds, 30-60s holds): Dhanurasana, Bhujangasana, Naukasana, Sarvangasana, Shalabhasana, Shashankasana.[indianmenopausesociety +1]
Pranayama: Anulom Vilom, Bhramari (10-15 mins); paced breathing (6/min). Meditation: 10 mins gratitude focus. 8 weeks for results; trained instructor advised.
9. What are Lifestyle Tips?
Exercise (30 min/day), Mediterranean/anti-inflammatory diet, stress reduction (mindfulness), quit smoking/limit alcohol for bone/heart protection.
India: calcium-rich foods (ragi, sesame) for nutrition gaps
10. What Ongoing Health Screenings are Needed?
Cervical Cancer: HPV DNA test every 5 years (30-65 years); or Pap/VIA every 3 years; high-risk from 25. Continue postmenopause if abnormal.
Bone density (3-5% yearly loss), mammograms (to 75), Pap/ HPV DNA testing (to 65).

This subspecialty in the Institute of Gynaecology & Obstetric was formed by our visionary founder Dr. S.K. Bhandari, 27 years back. Minimal access surgery in Gynaecology has revolutionized gynaecological surgical procedures dramatically. From big open scars on the abdomen to small keyhole surgeries, decreasing patient’s post-operative pain and enhancing early mobilisation and discharge from hospital. We offer a state of the art minimally invasive endoscopic management for a wide range of gynaecological procedures like hysterectomy, myomectomy, fertility enhancing procedure, operative hysteroscopies and gynaecological malignancies etc.
Our Mission: Is to convert open surgeries into minimally invasive wherever possible, to train all budding gynaecologists of our Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecologists and others wanting to learn endoscopy by observing and assisting the Gynae Endoscopic surgeons. We offer Fellowships in the subspeciality of Gynae MAS.
Our Vision: We want every Gynaecologist to be trained in Endoscopy. To spread awareness among common public about the advancement in Hysteroscopic, Laparoscopic and Robotic assisted Laparoscopic Surgeries, we organize public awareness lectures, social media talks, Endoscopic workshops, CMEs, Webinars, and hands on training programmes.
Skill Centre: Sir Ganga Ram Hospital’s state of the art skill centre provides training on workstations with endotrainers, simulators, advanced Audio visual setups, mannequins etc. Our Senior gynae endoscopists take regular classes and hold advanced hands on certified training workshops for the post graduate students of our institute and other aspiring gynae endoscopists who enroll for our workshops.
Gynae Endoscopy Operation Theatres: We have 5state of the art Gynae Endoscopic operation theatres. Each MAS theatre has a Full High Definition Endovision system with 4 K and 3 D 4 K capabilities, 2 ceiling mounted adjustable monitors (separate for surgeons and assistants), high end operating tables, and expert anaesthesia setup.
Robotic Surgery: The hospital had acquired Robot; da Vinci System Si for robotic surgery in 2012. Consultants of the Institute; Dr Debasis Dutta, Dr. Kanika Jain, Dr. Chandra Mansukhani, Dr. Mala Srivastava, Dr. Mamta Dagar, & Dr. Punita Bhardwaj had undertaken training for robotic surgery. Various gynae surgeries have been performed successfully in the Institute so far on the system. Recently we have procured 2 new Robots; The Hugo RAS by Medtronics and the MISO ENDO400 by MERIL. They have dedicated OTs in SSRB and the new Executive building respectively and gynaecological benign and cancer surgeries are being performed on them now.
Training and Accreditation: Many surgeons from India and abroad have benefited from GRIPMER fellowships in Gynae Endoscopy from our institute. Our sub speciality offers clinical observerships also in which senior gynaecologists from other hospitals have enhanced their knowledge and learned tips and tricks in Gynae Endoscopy.
Academics: Our consultants in Gynae endoscopy; Dr. Debasis Dutta, Dr. Kanika Jain, Dr. Punita Bhardwaj and Dr. Ila Sharma are excellent teachers and keen enthusiasts in organising academic programmes to train budding gynaecologists. We have been holding positions in our Delhi and National level Gynae Societies and Gynae Endoscopy associations taking the name of Sir Ganga Ram Hospital to greater heights.

Q. What is key hole surgery?
A key hole surgery refers to laparoscopic a Robotic assisted laparoscopic surgery performed through small holes created on the abdomen by specialised surgeons trained in endoscopy. Thus avoiding a large abdominal cut given in open surgeries.
Q. Is a laparoscopic / Robotic surgery less painful than conventional open surgery?
Yes, minimal access surgeries are much less painful, have faster recovery, early mobilisation early discharge from hospital and earlier return to work as compared to conventional open surgeries.
Q. Can Gynae Cancer surgeries be performed Endoscopically ?
Gynae Endoscopy has a definite role in diagnosing and treating Gynae cancers but the management has to be individually based on the type of cancer.
Q. Can fertility enhancing, surgeries be performed endoscopically?
Yes, fertility enhancing surgeries should majorly be performed endoscopically ONLY and good results are obtained if performed by expert endoscopists. Surgeries like operative hysteroscopies (polypectomy, septal resection, synaechiolysis, tubal cannulation etc) and operative laparoscopies (myomectomy, tubal recanalization, adhesiolysis, ovarian cystectomies etc) help infertile couples conceive.
Q. How soon can a patient return to work after laparoscopic hysterectomy?
The recovery after laparoscopic hysterectomy is much faster and hence patient can return to work after 2- 3 days of surgery or within a week depending upon case to case.
