Menopause Symptoms to affect a woman's cognitive performance

Menopause greatly affects women's health causing hormonal fluctuations, mood swings and several other disorders despite being a natural phenomenon. Its management is crucial for better health and quality of life in women.

Menopause is often accompanied by an array of symptoms that can detract from a woman's quality of life. A new study suggests that the severity of some of those symptoms—especially depression and sexual dysfunction—were linked to a woman's cognitive performance. Study results are published online today in Menopause, the journal of The North American Menopause Society (NAMS).
