Brain

Managing brain and memory changes during menopause may involve regular physical activity, mental exercises, healthy nutrition, stress management techniques, and improving sleep quality.

Menopause and perimenopause can have a significant impact on brain function and memory due to hormonal changes, particularly the decline in oestrogen. Oestrogen plays a vital role in brain health by supporting neurotransmitter function, protecting neurons, and regulating mood and cognition. As oestrogen levels fluctuate or decrease, many women experience symptoms that affect cognitive abilities, memory, and overall mental clarity. Additionally, sleep disturbances, stress, and other menopause-related symptoms can exacerbate cognitive difficulties.
