Alleviating the Menopausal Journey with Black Cohosh

Abstract

Menopause may be one of the most intimidating life phase and a natural inevitable change for a woman. By 2030, there will be more than 1.2 billion menopausal women in the world [1]. Approximately four out of five women experience MPS, including MPS brought on by surgery, chemotherapy, or pelvic radiation. A small percentage of women experience this normal ageing process asymptomatically. The wellbeing and quality of life of these women is greatly impacted by the severe and disabling symptoms that between 50 and 85% of these women worldwide experience [1-3]. Women frequently have hot flashes during the period of attaining menopause. The episodes normally last between 30 and 10 minutes and might be accompanied by shivering, perspiration, and skin reddening. Other signs include be mood swings, sleep issues, and vaginal dryness. Each woman's symptoms are different in intensity. Early menopause is defined as the onset of menopause before the age of 45. Along with symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats, mood swings, arthralgia, and vaginal dryness, menopause has physical side effects include bone loss, an increase in belly fat, and negative changes to a woman's lipid profile.
