Anjali Malhotra, 48, is a senior...
Anjali Malhotra, 48, is a senior architect in Mumbai. A high-achiever used to being in control, she began experiencing severe, unpredictable hot flashes that disrupted important client meetings, along with debilitating brain fog that made complex design work a struggle. Her sleep was shattered by night sweats, leaving her exhausted. Initially, she dismissed it as stress, but after a particularly embarrassing episode during a presentation, she sought help. Her gynaecologist, Dr. Sharma, listened empathetically and explained these were classic symptoms of perimenopause. She recommended starting low-dose Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) with a transdermal estrogen patch and progesterone pills, tailored to Anjali's health profile. Anjali was apprehensive about 'artificial hormones' but trusted her doctor. Within two weeks, the hot flashes diminished dramatically. After a month, her sleep improved and the mental fog lifted, allowing her to focus at work again. Emotionally, she journeyed from feeling frustrated and 'broken' by her own body to empowered and relieved. She regained her sense of competence and no longer fears her symptoms will derail her career.
