Common symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, sleep problems, vaginal dryness, decreased libido, weight gain, and thinning hair. These symptoms vary from woman to woman.
What is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)?
HRT involves taking medications containing female hormones to replace the ones the body no longer makes after menopause. It helps alleviate menopausal symptoms and prevent bone loss.

HRT is generally safe for many women, but it may not be suitable for everyone. It’s important to discuss your medical history and risks with your healthcare provider to determine if HRT is right for you.
How can I maintain my health during menopause?
Staying active, eating a balanced diet, getting regular check-ups, managing stress, and staying connected with supportive friends and family can all contribute to maintaining health during menopause.
