The article discusses the impact of menopause on women's health,
including the changes that occur in the div, risk factors for early onset of menopause,
features of surgical menopause, and their consequences. Current trends are discussed, as well
as innovative diagnostic and treatment methods, including hormone replacement therapy and
individualized approaches to the management of menopausal symptoms. Importantly, the
need for a comprehensive approach to the prevention and correction of menopausal
conditions is emphasized, which will improve the quality of life of women during this critical
period.

: Menopause, women's health, hormone replacement therapy, risk factors,
surgical menopause.
Introduction.
Menopause is a physiological process characterized by the cessation of
menstrual function and a decline in the production of sex hormones, significantly impacting
women's health (North American Menopause Society, 2020). This transitional period typically
occurs between the ages of 45 and 55; however, there is a notable trend toward earlier onset
of menopause, which necessitates increased attention from the medical community (Manson
et al., 2017). This article explores the primary manifestations of menopause, its effects on
women's health, associated risk factors—including early menopause and surgical
menopause—physiological changes in the div, and innovative approaches to diagnosing and
managing this condition.
Menopause is associated with numerous physiological changes that can adversely affect
women's overall health. Among the most prevalent symptoms of menopause are hot flashes,
night sweats, mood fluctuations, and decreased libido (Gold et al., 2012). Hormonal
alterations can also lead to diminished bone density, thereby increasing the risk of
osteoporosis and fractures (Maclennan et al., 2002). In the postmenopausal period, women
are also at an elevated risk of cardiovascular diseases, a phenomenon linked to the loss of
estrogenic protection (Davis et al., 2015). Epidemiological evidence has demonstrated that the
risk of developing coronary heart disease may increase two to three times as a consequence of
menopause compared to the premenopausal period (Savvas et al., 2018). Notably, these
health changes are closely tied to the age at which menopause begins and the duration of time
a woman spends in the postmenopausal phase (Stuenkel et al., 2015).
According to the World Health Organization (WHO, 2021), the life expectancy of women
in developed countries has risen, resulting in an increased number of women undergoing
menopause. It is projected that by 2030, nearly half of the global population will consist of
older women, thereby underscoring the urgent need for developing effective prevention and
treatment strategies tailored to the health characteristics of this demographic (Cedars-Sinai
Medical Center, 2021).
121
Several factors contribute to the premature onset of menopause (perimenopause),
including genetic predisposition, smoking, obesity, and certain medical conditions such as
endometriosis and cancers. Research indicates that women who smoke face a higher risk of
experiencing menopause before the age of 45. Moreover, the impact of stress and
psychosocial factors plays an important role in the pathogenesis of early menopause.
Particular attention should be given to surgical menopause, which occurs as a result of
the surgical removal of the ovaries (oophorectomy) or the uterus (hysterectomy). These
procedures can significantly alter a woman's hormonal status, often leading to more
pronounced symptoms compared to natural menopause. Acute reactions to surgical
menopause may involve severe hot flashes, emotional instability, and a significant decrease in
libido.
The health implications of surgical menopause also require careful management by
healthcare providers, as women who have undergone oophorectomy face a markedly
increased risk of osteoporosis and cardiovascular diseases. In such cases, hormone
replacement therapy (HRT) may be recommended to mitigate negative health effects.
During menopause, substantial changes occur within the div as a result of hormonal
deficiencies, particularly of estrogen. These changes affect various bodily systems. For
instance, estrogen deficiency can lead to vaginal mucosal atrophy, causing discomfort during
sexual intercourse. Additionally, the decline in hormone levels may be associated with an
increase in div fat and alterations in metabolism, leading to an elevated risk of metabolic
syndrome.
Modern research in the field of menopause is increasingly oriented toward the
development of innovative approaches for the diagnosis and management of menopausal
symptoms. A significant focus has been placed on utilizing biomarkers to better predict the
onset of menopause, which may aid in early intervention and tailored treatment strategies.
These biomarkers could include hormonal levels, genetic markers, and other biological
indicators that reflect a woman's unique physiological profile, thus paving the way for
personalized medical solutions.
In addition to biomarker research, there is a growing emphasis on understanding and
integrating genetic and epigenetic factors into individualized management strategies for
menopause. By considering a woman’s genetic predisposition and environmental influences,
researchers aim to create more effective, tailored interventions that address the specific
needs and health risks of each individual. For instance, studies are exploring the efficacy of
certain molecules that can imitate estrogen effects, which may provide alternative therapeutic
options for women who are unable or prefer not to undergo conventional hormone
replacement therapy (HRT).
Hormone replacement therapy continues to be one of the primary methods for
managing menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings.
However, the complexities of HRT cannot be overlooked, given the associated potential risks.
Concerns regarding an increased likelihood of thromboembolic events, cardiovascular issues,
and breast cancer necessitate a cautious approach to therapy. As a result, the medical
community is actively pursuing selective therapy methodologies that aim to minimize these
risks while still providing relief from menopausal symptoms.
122
The challenge lies in recognizing that not every woman is an appropriate candidate for
HRT. Factors such as personal health history, family history of hormone-sensitive cancers, and
existing cardiovascular conditions must be carefully evaluated when considering HRT.
Moreover, healthcare providers are encouraged to engage in comprehensive discussions with
their patients regarding the risks and benefits of various treatment options, ensuring that
each therapeutic plan is tailored to the individual’s specific circumstances and preferences.
Ultimately, the ongoing research efforts and advancements in understanding menopause
promise to enhance the quality of life for women undergoing this significant transition. By
emphasizing personalized medicine and a multifaceted approach to treatment, the goal is to
support women in navigating the complexities of menopause with greater efficacy and safety.
Conclusion
. Menopause is a significant stage in every woman’s life, requiring a
comprehensive approach to understanding its impact on health. The exacerbation of
menopausal symptoms and the risks associated with them make early detection and
prevention necessary. Modern research opens up new horizons for diagnosis and treatment,
emphasizing the importance of an individualized approach. The use of innovative methods for
managing menopausal symptoms will improve the quality of life of women during this critical
period, which is an important task for the medical community. Given the increase in life
expectancy and the growing number of postmenopausal women, the need for holistic and
integrated care remains more relevant than ever.
