How long does menopausal dryness usually last in women?

The duration of menopausal dryness in women varies from person to person and is related to the individual patient’s constitution. Menopause usually occurs in women between the ages of 45 and 50, and is a transitional period when women gradually enter old age from sexual maturity. After entering menopause, women’s ovarian function gradually declines and estrogen levels continue to drop, resulting in a series of manifestations, such as dry heat, night sweats, irregular menstruation, headaches, and palpitations. Menopausal women with hot and dry symptoms may experience gradual relief in 1-2 years if they are in good health, but most women will continue for 4-5 years. In some women, menopausal symptoms last longer. You can prevent osteoporosis by providing psychological support, using appropriate sedative medication to help you sleep if necessary, and encouraging a healthy lifestyle, including exercise, a healthy diet, increased sun exposure, and adequate protein and calcium-rich food intake. If symptoms are significant, treatment can be supplemented with medication, hormone therapy or hormone supplementation, mainly by oral, dermal or vaginal administration, using estrogen, progestin, estrogen-progestin combination or tibolone.
