Navigating Menopause: Insights into Symptoms, Treatments, and Alternative Therapies
Keywords:
Menopause symptoms, Hormone therapy, PostmenopauseAbstract
With the rise in life expectancy, the population of postmenopausal women is projected to reach 1.1 billion by 2025. The physiological and pathological changes associated with menopause significantly impact the quality of life among women. This narrative literature review aims to provide an overview of the existing literature on menopausal symptoms, treatments, and alternative complementary therapies, as well as to identify knowledge gaps for future research. The literature search was conducted using PubMed, CINAHL, ScienceDirect, and MEDLINE. The search focused on studies related to the prevalence of menopausal symptoms, treatment options including menopausal hormone replacement therapy, and alternative complementary therapies such as yoga, exercise, and hypnosis. The results are thematically categorized as follows: 1) Menopausal symptoms by age, 2) Prevalence and risk factors of menopausal symptoms, 3) Early menopause, 4) Menopausal hormone therapy, and 5) Alternative and complementary therapies like yoga and exercise.Menopause often goes unrecognized and unaddressed in society due to social taboos. There is a need for new methodological and theoretical approaches in research on menopausal women's health and alternative complementary therapies to enhance benefits and reduce complications among hormone replacement therapy users.
