Menopause is a natural stage in a woman's life, but it can present physical and emotional challenges. During this period, levels of estrogen, progesterone, and other important hormones fluctuate and decline. As a result, many women experience symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, vaginal dryness, sleep problems, decreased libido, and bone loss.
These symptoms can significantly affect quality of life. However, menopause is not a disease. With the right treatment, it is possible to mitigate symptoms and maintain a full, healthy life.
Menopause treatment, or hormone replacement therapy (HRT), involves giving hormones, such as estrogen and progesterone, to compensate for the natural decline in these levels. By restoring hormonal balance, HRT can relieve symptoms and improve quality of life.
