I am 43 years old, my periods come for 1-2 days, I have been having acidity for 5-6 months, I have gained weight, hair fall occurs, water comes out from the breasts, is this a symbol of menopause, if yes then what medicine should I take?

Ans: At age of 43, there is a hormonal imbalance which can result in weight gain, scanty menses, hair fall, discharge from nipple.
It can be due to stress, diet changes or lifestyle changes
Watery discharge from nipple can be due to impaired, raised prolactin level which can and treated with medicine under supervision of your doctor
To check for hormones
TSH, prolactin, LH, FSH, estradiol level, and correct accordingly
Weight gain can be taken care by correcting hormonal imbalance, dietary changes (including proteins less carbs, less oily and fatty food), exercises (Zumba, cardio, daily walks)
Hair fall can be taken care of by improving nutrition, including vitamin A, C, D, iron, biotin, zinc, protein, essential fatty acids and taking supplements under doctor supervision
