          Regular Sex May Ease Painful Menopause Symptoms

          A new study reveals that women who engage in regular sexual activity experience fewer symptoms of genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM), such as vaginal dryness, irritation, and pain. In a survey of over 900 women aged 40 to 79, researchers found that while sexual desire and lubrication declined with age, orgasm and satisfaction remained stable.

          Boosting Iron May Ease Brain Fog

          New research shows that women with healthy blood iron levels during menopause perform better on cognitive tasks like memory and attention. The study found that sufficient blood iron was linked to better brain function without increasing harmful iron deposits in the brain.

          How Age, Sex, and Genetics Shape Blood Biomarkers for Dementia

          A new study reveals how age, sex, menopause, and genetics influence key blood biomarkers linked to dementia risk. Researchers analyzed data from over 1,000 people, measuring three biomarkers over a 17-year period and comparing results between those who developed dementia and those who did not.

          Early Menopause Linked to Greater Risk of Cognitive Decline

          Women who experience menopause before age 40 are more likely to face cognitive decline than those who enter menopause after age 50. The findings, based on longitudinal data from nearly 5,000 women, suggest that early menopause may be an independent risk factor for dementia, even after accounting for depression and other variables. Women with later menopause performed better on memory and orientation tests than men, while hormone replacement therapy showed no significant cognitive effect.

          Early Reproductive Aging Alters Brain Connectivity, Emotional Health

          Research shows that accelerated reproductive ageing in females, such as early puberty or menopause, is linked to increased mental health risks at different life stages. Adolescents experiencing early puberty displayed unstable brain connectivity in regions tied to psychosis vulnerability, while middle-aged women with early menopause showed patterns linked to depression.

          Menopausal Hormone Therapy’s Effects on Brain Health

          Menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) has nuanced effects on brain health, influenced by factors like age, treatment duration, and past surgical history. The study found that current MHT users had higher brain age gaps and smaller hippocampal volumes, while past users showed no significant differences compared to non-users.

          Early Ovary Removal Linked to Reduced Brain White Matter Integrity

          Women who undergo ovary removal before menopause, especially before age 40, show reduced white matter integrity in their brains later in life. The research analyzed data from the Mayo Clinic Study of Aging, finding significant white matter reduction in women with premenopausal bilateral oophorectomy (PBO) before 40.

          Menopause May Not Impact Mental Health

          A comprehensive review challenges the long-held belief that menopause directly causes psychological distress and mental health conditions in all women. This study finds no universal link between menopause and an increased risk of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or psychosis. However, it identifies factors that heighten the risk of depressive symptoms during menopause, such as previous depression episodes, sleep disruption from hot flushes, and concurrent stressful life events.
