Clinical Overview
Menopause is a natural biological process marking the end of menstrual cycles, usually occurring in the late 40s or 50s. While a natural transition, the hormonal shifts can significantly impact quality of life.
Key Symptoms
Hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, mood changes, and vaginal dryness. Long-term risks include a decrease in bone density.
Treatment Options
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) can be effective for many women. Non-hormonal treatments and lifestyle adjustments are also used to manage specific symptoms under medical supervision.
Prevention & Lifestyle
Ensure adequate intake of Calcium and Vitamin D to protect bone health. Regular weight-bearing exercises and a balanced diet can help manage weight and cardiovascular risks during this transition.
