Postmenopausal Neural Health

Meaning

Postmenopausal Neural Health refers to the state of structural and functional integrity of the central nervous system in women following the cessation of ovarian function and the resultant profound decline in endogenous estrogen and progesterone production. This concept acknowledges the brain’s status as a major target organ for sex hormones, recognizing the critical link between hormonal status and cognitive, emotional, and structural neurological outcomes. Clinical focus in this area involves strategies to mitigate the increased risk of cognitive decline and neurodegenerative changes associated with the hypoestrogenic state. Maintaining this health is essential for long-term well-being.
