Hi mam I am 47 years old and my pre menopause syndrome is killing me.More than physical discomfort I have problems like extreme mood swings, bouts of rage, feeling disoriented etc.My periods have become little irregular sometimes happening after a gap of one and half to two months. I have read that hormone replacement therapy is a good option to treat these symptoms I need your kind advice.

Ans: Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) subsequent to pre or peri menopausal symptoms may be appropriate for some people. HRT has to be tailored as per the persons need and requirement and also has to be given under supervision. So before you actually embark on HRT as a treatment option, it might be useful to consider lifestyle modification. Exercise, yoga, meditation and adding on basic things like evening primrose oil, vitamin E to your daily supplementation, starting some form of exercise may be useful. Before you actually resort to considering HRT. I think you have to see a gynecologist or a physician to ensure that it is the right choice for you at this time, usually in the perimenopausal HRT may not be needed, and other forms of treatment may be quite useful.

I was duped of some 8L rs by fraudster and had completed the legal process where in court has ordered indusind bank and bank of Maharashtra to refund me money which is held by them..it been more than month since order was issued still no update is available from bank regarding credit back of the amount in my account.what next I should do..

Ans: Hello;

Send a reminder notice to the banks seeking time bound implementation of the Court order.

Either they may be preparing to appeal against the lower court order or it may be just a case of procedural delay.

Await their feedback before escalating to the court.

Money

My loans have crossed 40 lakhs and i dont have job. I dont know what should i do as i do not have any money to pay back. I am taking loans to repay interest for old loans.

Ans: Hello;

Sell some of your asset like land, gold or vehicle to repay the loan on priority.

Don't borrow to repay existing loans. Restructure the loans or seek a moratorium till you get a job.

Borrow funds from family and friends explaining your mistakes and promise to repay once you get another job.

Keep in mind the old saying to cut your cloth as per your size and act accordingly.
