Overview
- The Asisa WeLife Menopausia event took place Friday in A Coruña and brought clinicians, therapists and communicators together to break taboos and offer practical tools for women in perimenopause and menopause.
- Speakers emphasized that symptoms extend beyond hot flashes to include persistent fatigue, sleep disturbance and cognitive 'brain fog,' and they urged treatment when symptoms harm daily life.
- Clinicians at the event said properly indicated systemic hormone therapy (estradiol and progesterone) relieves symptoms and supports bone and cardiovascular health, noting recent regulatory reassessments have eased some prior warnings about breast‑cancer risk.
- Presenters and researchers highlighted new large survey data — from an ongoing Mujeres de Hierro study and other sources — that show tiredness and memory complaints can be more common and more disruptive than vasomotor symptoms in some groups.
- Experts recommended individualized care that pairs short strength sessions, Mediterranean‑style eating, sleep hygiene and a selective list of supplements (vitamin D, omega‑3, magnesium, creatine, protein/collagen) while noting not every woman needs the same treatment.
