Menopause
Every year millions of women in the world enter the menopausal transition period, also referred to as perimenopause, ending a woman’s fertile years. While menopause represents a normal stage of a woman’s life, the transition period bears with it numerous bothersome and debilitating symptoms, which commonly greatly affect daily routines, life and health of affected women.
During menopausal transition women suffer from numerous symptoms which may greatly affect daily routines. Individual women may experience menopausal symptoms quite differently. Moreover women perceive symptoms differently in the world, with women in western countries having most commonly hot flushes, whereas Asian ladies consider joint pain the most bothersome symptom [Geller et al., 2006]. Furthermore, the menopausal life stage goes along with deterioration of endothelial function, putting women at elevated risk for cardiovascular health issues [Moreau et al., 2015]. Physiologic changes occurring during menopause are manifold and manifest also in dryer and less elastic skin.
