flag Menopause does not speed up disability in women with MS, study finds.

flag A large-scale study published in JAMA Neurology finds that menopause does not increase disability progression in women with multiple sclerosis, challenging earlier assumptions. flag Analyzing data from over 980 women with relapsing-onset MS over an average of 14 years, researchers found that the age-related worsening of MS symptoms around 50 is likely due to general aging, not hormonal changes from menopause. flag While menopause may bring overlapping symptoms like fatigue and memory issues, the study offers reassurance that it does not accelerate MS. flag The findings support holistic management of menopausal symptoms through lifestyle changes and hormone therapy without fear of worsening the disease.
