Lagos, Nigeria — Wednesday, May 20, 2026. Health experts have described menopause as a natural stage in a woman’s life rather than a disease, urging women to adopt healthier lifestyles, undergo regular medical check-ups, and seek early treatment for unusual symptoms in order to ease the transition and avoid preventable health complications.
The experts made the call during a health awareness programme focused on women’s wellness and emotional well-being, where they emphasized the importance of proper healthcare, balanced nutrition, physical activity, and emotional support during menopause.
They noted that many women often neglect symptoms associated with menopause due to misinformation, fear, or cultural stigma.
According to the speakers, regular medical examinations remain essential for detecting health challenges early and improving overall quality of life for women undergoing menopausal changes.
They also encouraged women to seek professional medical advice instead of relying solely on self-medication or traditional assumptions regarding menopause-related symptoms.
The health advocates further urged families to strengthen love, emotional support, and positive parenting, stressing that emotional stability within the home contributes significantly to the mental and physical well-being of women during menopause.
They explained that supportive family structures can help reduce stress, anxiety, and emotional isolation commonly experienced during the transition period.
Healthcare professionals believe increased public awareness and education on menopause could help reduce misconceptions while encouraging more women to prioritize preventive healthcare and wellness practices.
