menopause education

Menopause is a natural biological transition marking the end of a woman’s menstrual cycles, usually occurring between ages 45-55. It involves a decline in reproductive hormones, primarily estrogen and progesterone, which can cause symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and mood changes. Menopause is diagnosed after 12 months without a period. Education provides understanding of these changes, available treatments, and lifestyle adjustments to manage symptoms and promote health, including bone health and heart wellness. Knowledge empowers women to navigate this phase confidently and make informed health decisions.
