Menopause Brain Fog

Meaning

Menopause Brain Fog is a common, non-clinical term describing the constellation of cognitive symptoms experienced by women during the menopausal transition, characterized by difficulties with memory recall, impaired concentration, reduced mental clarity, and executive function deficits. This neurological manifestation is directly linked to the fluctuating and declining levels of sex hormones, particularly estrogen, which has profound neuroprotective and neuromodulatory effects in the brain. Recognizing this symptom is crucial for empathetic clinical care and effective hormonal intervention strategies.
