Can menopause and aging cause changes women may experience during the menopause transition?

Menopause
What are normal changes related to menopause?
The NAMS note:
“Normal changes related to menopause include hot flashes, difficulty sleeping, and vaginal dryness”.3
Aging

“Conditions that can occur because of aging include weight gain, high blood pressure, glucose intolerance or diabetes, thyroid disorders, sleep apnea (disordered breathing), and an increased risk for heart disease and certain cancers”.4
The (German) Institute for Quality and Efficiency In Health Care also note:
So menopause itself doesn’t usually directly affect your health. But it can be a good time to think about how to stay healthy or improve your health and wellbeing in older age”.5
Lifestyle, Stress, Genetic Risks
What may impact on changes caused by menopause and aging?
The NAMS explain:
“For women who also have an unhealthy lifestyle, high stress, or certain genetic risks, the changes caused by menopause and aging can be particularly challenging and difficult to sort out”.6
Health Care Provider
What if I am unsure about some changes taking place?
If you are unsure about some changes – any changes – taking place – any where – it may be in your best interest to choose to talk to your health care provider about this. Together you can clarify your changes, discuss your options and if required, agree on who may be the most appropriate health care provider to help you.
