Post-Menopause Hormonal Health

Meaning

Post-Menopause Hormonal Health refers to the comprehensive clinical management of endocrine function in the period following the final cessation of menstrual cycles, defined as 12 consecutive months of amenorrhea. This phase is characterized by chronically low and stable levels of ovarian hormones, leading to potential long-term risks such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and cognitive decline. The clinical focus shifts from managing fluctuating symptoms to proactive, preventative strategies, including appropriate hormone replacement therapy and metabolic support. Optimal hormonal health in this stage is critical for maximizing healthspan and mitigating age-related chronic conditions.
