Menopause and Perimenopause Management
Menopause is a natural phase in every woman’s life, yet the journey leading up to it, known as perimenopause—can bring a range of physical and emotional changes. These transitions are normal, but they can be overwhelming without the right support. At Ankura, we offer comprehensive care to help women navigate this stage with comfort, confidence, and balance.

Menopause marks the end of menstrual cycles (after 12 months without a period), often accompanied by ongoing symptoms like vaginal dryness, fatigue, and metabolic changes.
These changes are expected, but no woman has to go through them alone.
