Menopause May Affect Brain Structure, Mental Health And Sleep, Research Shows

Menopause occurs when menstrual cycles permanently stop due to declining levels of reproductive hormones, most notably oestrogen. This transition typically takes place between the ages of 45 and 55 and is often accompanied by symptoms such as hot flushes, mood changes, and sleep difficulties. Previous studies have linked menopause to cognitive changes, including problems with memory, attention, and language skills.
