Postmenopause Health

Meaning

Postmenopause Health encompasses the comprehensive physiological, psychological, and preventative health management of a woman following twelve consecutive months of amenorrhea, which signifies the permanent cessation of ovarian function and the resultant low-estrogen state. This phase requires meticulous clinical attention to mitigate the long-term sequelae of chronic estrogen deficiency, including the accelerated risks of bone mineral density loss, cardiovascular disease development, and the emergence of genitourinary syndrome of menopause. Optimal health management in this stage focuses heavily on preventative strategies, symptom relief, and enhancing overall longevity.
