General Surgeon, Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel's Response

Hi,

* As per my clinical experience, at the age of 73, menopause is out of possibility and one must co-relate with rest of the hormone imbalance in terms of the thyroid and else.

Complete endocrine profile evaluation is a must to proceed in this regard for particular conclusion and management ahead. Do feel free to discuss further regarding any medical question.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
