"Empowering Women: Navigating Menopause with Holistic Treatment Options"

A new survey from AARP reveals that around 90 percent of women aged 35-plus experience menopausal symptoms, with hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings being the most common. Women are trying various treatments, including supplements, diet and exercise changes, and prescription medications. Doctors emphasize that treating menopause symptoms doesn't have to be a guessing game and recommend evidence-based treatments such as hormone replacement therapy, new hot flash medications, nonhormonal medications, and cognitive behavioral therapy. Lifestyle changes, including diet, exercise, and stress management, are also critical in managing menopause symptoms.
