Menopause and Geriatric Gynecology

Menopause is a natural stage in a woman's life, typically occurring in her late 40s to early 50s, marked by the end of menstrual cycles as hormone levels drop. This transition can bring symptoms like hot flashes and mood changes. Geriatric gynecology focuses on the healthcare needs of older women, addressing menopause and other age-related issues in relation to reproductive health. It emphasizes holistic care, ensuring that women receive appropriate guidance, screenings, and treatments to maintain their overall well-being as they age, integrating gynecological health into broader healthcare considerations.
