When navigating menopause, the natural transition when a woman's ovaries stop producing estrogen and progesterone. Also known as the climacteric phase, it brings hormonal shifts that affect many body systems. Managing these changes often involves Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), a treatment that supplies estrogen, sometimes combined with progesterone, to ease hot flashes, protect bone density, and improve mood. Another key player is bone health, the strength and integrity of skeletal tissue, which can decline rapidly without estrogen, making calcium‑rich diets and medications like Atorvastatin, a statin that supports cardiovascular health, which is linked to bone metabolism important. Finally, weight management, controlling body mass through nutrition and activity, helps reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease during this stage.
