Menopause Symptoms

Meaning

Menopause symptoms are the array of clinical manifestations experienced by women as a direct result of the profound decline in ovarian function and subsequent estrogen and progesterone deficiency. These symptoms can be highly variable in intensity and duration, encompassing vasomotor symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats, genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM), and neurocognitive effects such as mood swings and sleep disturbance. Clinically, these symptoms serve as the primary indicators for considering therapeutic interventions, including Female Hormone Replacement, to improve quality of life. Recognizing the full spectrum of these effects is essential for comprehensive patient care.
