TANGERANG - Menopause is not just the end of the menstrual cycle, but the beginning of a new phase of life that requires further medical attention. After menopause, a woman's estrogen levels settle at a low level, which significantly increases the risk of degenerative diseases such as bone loss (osteoporosis) and heart disease.
To mitigate these risks, dr. Rinto Riantori, Sp.OG from RS Premier Bintaro, recommends a long-term health protection strategy for postmenopausal women.
"Decreased estrogen increases the risk of bone loss. It is highly recommended for women in this phase to increase calcium intake accompanied by regular weight training. In addition, maintaining a low-saturated fat diet and regularly controlling blood pressure are crucial to maintaining heart health," said dr. Rinto.
In addition to lifestyle, early detection through regular health checks remains mandatory. Examinations such as bone density tests, mammography, and pap smears are important instruments for monitoring overall postmenopausal health. With proper monitoring, women can still enjoy an active, healthy, and free life quality from the heavy complaints of menopause.
