Menopause Redefined: A New Era of Women's Health and Wellness
Keywords:
Menopause, women’s health, hormone therapyAbstract
Menopause is a unique and complex experience that affects each woman differently, necessitating personalized attention and care. The growing interest in menopause has led to significant advancements in women's health, resulting in improved physical and mental health outcomes. With increasing life expectancy, menopausal healthcare has become a critical concern. While menopause is not a disease, its symptoms can vary widely among individuals. In some cases, surgery, radiation, or medications can induce menopause. Fortunately, menopause hormone therapy (MHT), non-hormonal treatments, and lifestyle modifications under medical supervision can alleviate symptoms and improve outcomes. Moreover, menopause presents an opportunity to assess and mitigate risks associated with cardiovascular, bone, and urogenital health. It is essential to provide menopausal women with comprehensive and tailored options to enhance their quality of life.
