Genetic and Genomic Counseling in Menopause and Aging

Genetic and genomic counseling during menopause and aging involves discussing how genetics can impact women's health as they age. It helps women understand their risk for certain conditions, such as breast or ovarian cancer, which may be influenced by their family history or genetic makeup. Counselors provide information on genetic testing options, implications for health management, and preventive strategies tailored to an individual’s unique genetic profile. This support empowers women to make informed decisions about their health during menopause and beyond, ensuring they receive appropriate care as they navigate age-related changes.
