Abstract
There is an interest in menopause that demands answers and solutions. Menopause affects each women differently and hence it is unique and needs to be talked about. This focus has led to improvement in women's health bringing about better outcome in physical and mental health. Increase in life expectancy has led to menopausal health care, an important issue. Menopause is not disease but causes symptoms that can differ individually. Occasionally, surgery, radiation, and medications can cause menopause. Menopause hormone therapy (MHT), nonhormonal therapy, and lifestyle modifications under supervision can improve menopausal outcome. It also gives window of opportunity to evaluate and reduce risk of cardiovascular, bone, and urogenital health. Menopausal women should be provided with all options that are suitable and feasible for improvement in their life.
