Menopause & Cognition Resources

Trending3.5(New)

A woman's body undergoes major hormonal, physical, and emotional changes throughout the natural menopausal stage. While menopausal symptoms like hot flashes and sleep difficulties are well known, cognitive changes are sometimes less well understood. A typical complaint among women is "menopause brain fog," which is characterized by memory loss, concentration problems, slowed information processing, and focus issues. These symptoms are typically transient, but they can have a substantial impact on relationships, confidence, productivity at work, and general quality of life.
