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've been dealing with irregular periods for quite a while now, and it's really unsettling not having a fixed monthly schedule. The dates are always shifting. Could you give me some guidance on why this might be happening or what I can do about it?

Irregular periods can be caused by various factors such as hormonal imbalances, stress, or conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). I recommend consulting with a gynecologist who can evaluate your symptoms and may suggest lifestyle changes, medication, or further tests to help regulate your cycle. It's important to address this issue for your overall well-being.

I'm curious if Cycloset syrup can help with conceiving or getting pregnant. Can you explain what it's used for? I'm a bit worried and trying to understand its purpose.

Cycloset syrup is primarily used to manage conditions like insulin resistance, PCOD (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), and type 2 diabetes by improving insulin sensitivity. It can help regulate menstrual cycles and support ovulation, which may improve fertility in some women trying to conceive. Always consult a doctor before using it for pregnancy-related concerns.
