Postmenopause is defined retrospectively after 12 consecutive months of amenorrhea. It represents the end of the reproductive period and ovarian failure. A decrease in estrogen leads to several changes in the short and long term. Among the early changes, vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes) are particularly common, occurring in about 70% of women. In addition, there are changes in mood, anxiety, depression, and insomnia. Insomnia occurs in almost 60% of postmenopausal women. Psychosocial aspects may also affect sleep. Proper diagnosis may lead to adequate treatment of sleep disturbances during menopause. Hormonal or other complementary therapies can improve sleep quality.
绝经后被定义为连续 12 个月无月经后。它代表生殖期的结束和卵巢功能衰竭。雌激素的减少会导致短期和长期的多种变化。在早期变化中，血管舒缩症状（热潮红）特别常见，约 70%的女性会出现这种症状。此外，情绪、焦虑、抑郁和失眠也会发生变化。几乎有 60%的绝经后妇女会出现失眠。社会心理方面也可能影响睡眠。正确的诊断可能会导致在更年期期间对睡眠障碍进行适当的治疗。激素或其他补充疗法可以改善睡眠质量。
