Menopause marks the end of menstruation and ovarian function, often accompanied by various symptoms. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and non-hormonal options can effectively manage these changes.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Endocrinology
  • Gynecology

Background:

  • Menopause is the final menstrual period, signaling cessation of ovarian function.
  • The menopausal transition (perimenopause) involves cycle changes and diverse symptoms.
  • Symptoms include vasomotor issues, urogenital complaints, and atypical presentations like fatigue and mood changes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define menopause and its associated transitional phase.
  • To outline common and atypical symptoms experienced during this period.
  • To discuss treatment options for menopausal symptoms.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on menopause definition and symptoms.
  • Overview of clinical presentations during perimenopause.
  • Summary of therapeutic interventions.

Main Results:

  • Menopause is definitively diagnosed retrospectively after 12 months of amenorrhea.
  • Perimenopausal symptoms are highly variable and can significantly impact quality of life.
  • Both hormonal and non-hormonal treatments show efficacy.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding menopause and its symptoms is crucial for patient care.
  • Effective management strategies exist for symptomatic relief.
  • Individualized treatment approaches are recommended.
