Menopause is a natural stage in a woman’s life confirmed after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period.

During this transition, declining hormone levels can cause symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood changes, sleep problems, difficulty concentrating and urinary issues.

Although menopause is a normal process, treatment and lifestyle changes can help women manage the effects.

Hormone therapy may ease some symptoms, while vaginal estrogen and lubricants can help with dryness and discomfort.

Calcium, vitamin D, regular exercise, a balanced diet and enough sleep also support overall health.

Regular check-ups remain important to monitor well-being after menopause.
