Today is World Menopause Day – October 18
*Menopause is not good or bad*—it is a natural biological transition in every woman’s life, marking the *end of her reproductive years*. It usually occurs between *45 and 55 years of age*.
While menopause itself is *not a disease, the hormonal changes* (mainly a *fall in estrogen levels*) can lead to ✅*symptoms such as:* • 🫀Hot flashes and night sweats • 🧕Mood swings or sleep disturbances • 👨🏾🎤Joint pain or fatigue • 🤦Weight gain or bone loss (osteoporosis) • 😔Vaginal dryness or urinary issues
These changes can affect physical and emotional health, but with awareness, lifestyle measures, and *timely medical guidance*, most symptoms can be well managed.
✅ Ways to stay healthy during and after menopause: 1. 🥛Healthy diet: Include calcium- and vitamin D–rich foods (milk, greens, nuts, fish). 2. 🏃♂️Regular exercise: Weight-bearing exercises strengthen bones and improve mood. 3. 🍷Avoid smoking and limit alcohol. 4. 🤦Stress management: Yoga, meditation, and relaxation techniques. 5. 🫀Regular health check-ups: Bone density, heart health, and hormonal balance. 6. 💊Medical support: Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or non-hormonal treatments under a doctor’s advice.
Menopause is a new beginning, not an end—an *opportunity for women to focus on their well-being, strength, and vitality. Dr Evelina Mujumdar
