Menopause marks a significant transition in a woman's life, bringing hormonal changes that impact overall health and well-being. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) remains a key option for managing symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances, though its risks and benefits must be carefully considered. Non-hormonal therapies, including lifestyle modifications, dietary adjustments, and alternative treatments, offer effective symptom relief for women seeking alternatives to HRT. Additionally, cognitive health is a growing concern, with research highlighting the importance of mental well-being, memory support, and preventive strategies against neurodegenerative diseases.

Aging also affects bone and cardiovascular health, increasing the risk of osteoporosis and heart disease. Postmenopausal women are more susceptible to bone density loss, making calcium and vitamin D intake, along with weight-bearing exercises, essential for fracture prevention. Cardiovascular risks rise with declining estrogen levels, emphasizing the need for regular screenings, heart-healthy diets, and active lifestyles. Advances in menopause management continue to enhance quality of life, ensuring that women maintain optimal health as they age.
