Background: Menopause, typically occurring between ages 45–55, marks the end of menstruation and fertility. While it is a natural biological transition, many women experience symptoms—such as hot flashes, sleep disturbances, mood changes, and urogenital issues—that can significantly affect quality of life.

Objective: To explore the role of midwives in supporting women during menopause, emphasizing holistic care, education, and collaborative management strategies.

Midwife’s Role: Holistic Care: Midwives approach menopause not only as a physiological change but also as a psychosocial milestone. They provide counseling that integrates physical, emotional, and social well-being. Screening & Identification: Evidence shows that midwives can improve outcomes by proactively screening for menopausal symptoms, helping women recognize early changes and seek timely support.

Education & Empowerment: Midwives emphasize patient education, encouraging women to understand their bodies and make informed choices about lifestyle, diet, exercise, and treatment options.

Collaboration: They often work alongside physicians, nurses, and specialists to ensure comprehensive management, including hormone therapy when appropriate.Normalization: By framing menopause as a natural life stage rather than a disease, midwives help reduce stigma and anxiety.

Management Strategies: Lifestyle Interventions: Nutrition counseling, exercise promotion, stress reduction, and sleep hygiene.Non-Pharmacological Support: Herbal remedies, relaxation techniques, and mindfulness practices.

Medical Collaboration: Referral for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or other medical interventions when symptoms are severe.

Psychosocial Support: Addressing emotional health, relationship changes, and sexual well-being.

Conclusion: From a midwife’s perspective, menopause management is about empowering women to navigate this transition with confidence and dignity. Midwives act as advocates, educators, and companions, ensuring that care is individualized and culturally sensitive. Their role bridges the gap between medical treatment and holistic support, making menopause care more accessible and woman-centered.
