Menopause is a natural part of a woman’s life, which can also bring about many physical and emotional changes. The hormonal changes during menopause, which usually begin at the age of 45-55 years, can cause a variety of symptoms including hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood swings, and sleep disturbances. But these symptoms can be more debilitating in many cases and can lead to issues like discomfort during sex, urinary urgency, and dryness in the skin, around the eyes, and the mouth. However, experts suggest that there are many treatment options available to help manage these symptoms, one of which is hormone therapy.
