How long does menopause weight gain last?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Many women gain weight around menopause starting as early as from 40 years of age which can be controlled by healthy eating habits and physical activity. There is no rule which applies commonly for all women in terms of this duration of weight gain but on an average it is 5 years.

I'm a bit confused about some medication my doctor mentioned. They advised me to take Duphaston, and I'm also hearing about Jigest. Are they basically the same thing? Could you explain the difference, if there is any?

I'm just over 7 weeks pregnant and noticed a little brown discharge on my panty liner today. I had an ultrasound last week and everything seemed fine, with a heartbeat of 140. It's my first pregnancy, and I don't have any medical history. Is this discharge normal, or should I be worried?

De-tanning can be challenging, but there are methods to help reduce tan appearance: Topical creams: Hydroquinone, kojic acid, or retinoid-based creams can help lighten skin tone. Chemical peels: Glycolic acid or lactic acid peels can exfoliate and brighten the skin. Microdermabrasion: A non-invasive exfoliating treatment to remove dead skin cells. Laser skin toning: Targets melanin to reduce tan appearance. Sun protection: Continue using high SPF sunscreen and protective clothing to prevent further tanning. Consult a dermatologist to determine the best approach for your skin type and tone.

I had diarrhea on September 2nd and took a 4mg Imodium tablet at night. Since yesterday, my bowel movements have completely stopped. I'm also experiencing burning and itching in my vaginal area, and there's a thick white discharge. Could this be related to the diarrhea or the Imodium tablet? Are there any OTC medicines or creams I could try for this?
