Menopausal Symptoms

Wellness interventions across three delivery modes significantly reduced anxiety, vasomotor symptoms, sexual dysfunction, and somatic symptoms. Low-frequency and low-intensity exercise did not significantly reduce symptoms in one study. Exercise plus placebo and exercise plus supplementation groups had significant symptom reductions in one study. Face-to-face-supported delivery produced greater reductions in vasomotor symptoms, somatic symptoms, and overall Greene Climacteric Scale scores than other modes. The article identifies estrogen as the primary metabolic regulator in the female body. A woman may lack hot flashes while metabolic markers rise rapidly. Silent metabolic changes during the menopausal transition include rising lipid particles, inflammatory markers, insulin resistance, blood pressure, and thyroid dysfunction.
