Physical And Psychosocial Problems Among Menopausal Women

Abstract

Menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years. While it is a normal phase, it brings several physiological and psychosocial challenges that significantly affect a woman’s quality of life. The transition is often associated with a variety of physical symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular risks. Additionally, psychosocial issues including depression, anxiety, mood swings, and social isolation further complicate this stage of life. Understanding these challenges is essential to provide better healthcare interventions and support mechanisms for menopausal women. This article explores the common physical and psychosocial problems experienced during menopause, their implications, and possible management strategies.
