Perimenopause touches your hormones, metabolism, mood, muscles and sleep at the same time — so the team built around it is not just one specialty.
MBBS, MD (Obstetrics and Gynaecology) — Kasturba Medical College
Over two decades of clinical practice in gynaecology, obstetrics and infertility, including as Medical Director of a leading IVF centre from 2005 to 2021. He now practises at Renew Healthcare in Kolkata, with memberships including ISAR and ESHRE.
For the insulin resistance, weight shift and metabolic changes that accelerate in this decade.
For mood, anxiety and the emotional weight of a transition that is often minimised elsewhere.
For the resistance and impact training that protects bone and muscle through the transition.
For the dietary foundation that does more than any single supplement.
For family-history-informed risk conversations, including around breast cancer and HRT.
You start with a gynaecology consultation. Where a second discipline would genuinely change the plan — insulin resistance, low mood, bone loss, a family history that changes the HRT conversation — it is brought in around the same plan rather than handed off as a separate problem. See the clinic team and the menopause wellness service.
Dr. Rajeev Agarwal, MBBS, MD (Obstetrics and Gynaecology), with over 25 years of clinical practice in gynaecology, obstetrics and fertility medicine in Kolkata.
The transition affects metabolism, bone, muscle, mood and sleep at the same time. Hormone therapy addresses part of it; insulin resistance, nutrition, strength training and mental health need their own expertise, coordinated around one plan rather than handed off separately.
Consultations with Dr. Rajeev Agarwal at Renew Healthcare, Kolkata — in person or virtual. If you have taken the symptom quiz, bring your result: it gives the consultation a running start.
A note on this section. Everything here is general educational information about perimenopause and menopause. It is not a diagnosis and does not replace individualised medical advice — please discuss your own symptoms, history and options with Dr. Agarwal or your own physician before making any treatment decision.
