A COMPLEX PHYSIOLOGICAL TRANSFORMATION
by: Roberta Kline, MD (OB/GYN)

Women go through many changes during the menopausal process that affect their physical, emotional, and spiritual health. It is often a time of awakening and increased awareness of the need for focusing on their goals and their own self-care.

The increase in awareness of the role of hormones and options such as hormone replacement therapy has been a great door opener to better care that has benefitted many women. Indeed, estrogen is a ubiquitous hormone that influences almost every aspect of our biology, and many of the diseases we see that increase after menopause are linked to these hormonal changes. But not every woman is a good candidate for or benefits from hormone replacement therapy, nor do all women choose this path.

This then leads them to search for solutions that are aligned with their beliefs and health needs. With so much information (and dis-information) available, it quickly presents its own challenge as each woman tries to sift through what is right for her. In truth, each woman is unique, and how she navigates menopause and life beyond requires an individualized approach.

Cardiovascular disease (including high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and stroke), breast cancer, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, dementia, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, hypothyroidism, urinary incontinence, sexual wellbeing, and weight gain are among the many health issues that increase after menopause. While the underpinnings for most chronic diseases often exist 10 – 20 years before they appear, menopause can accelerate the disease process.
