Sneha Chopra, 48, is a high-powered...
Sneha Chopra, 48, is a high-powered corporate lawyer in Mumbai. For the past two years, she has been struggling with increasingly disruptive symptoms: debilitating hot flashes during client meetings, crushing fatigue that made her 14-hour workdays feel impossible, and severe brain fog that eroded her legendary sharpness in court. She initially dismissed it as stress, but when her periods became erratic and then stopped entirely six months ago, she grew concerned. Her gynecologist, Dr. Iyer, confirmed she was in perimenopause transitioning to menopause. Dr. Iyer recommended a comprehensive approach starting with lifestyle modifications and cognitive behavioral therapy for sleep. When Sneha's symptoms persisted, they discussed Hormone Therapy (HT) using a low-dose estrogen patch and progesterone. Sneha was apprehensive about HT due to outdated fears, but after reviewing current safety data for women her age, she agreed. Within 3-4 weeks of starting the patch, the hot flashes and night sweats subsided dramatically. Her sleep improved, and the mental fog began to lift. At her 3-month follow-up, Sneha felt like herself again, reclaiming her professional confidence and energy. Emotionally, she moved from a place of fear and loss, feeling her body was betraying her prime, to one of empowerment and control, viewing menopause not as an end but as a manageable new phase of life.
