Background: Although menopause is a component of chronological aging, it may be induced by exposure to heavy metals like lead. Interestingly, lead exposure, just like the postmenopausal state, has been associated with spatial memory loss and neurodegeneration; however, the impact of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on menopause and lead-induced spatial memory loss and neurodegeneration is yet to be reported.
Aim: The present study investigated the effect and associated mechanism of HRT on ovariectomized-driven menopausal state and lead exposure-induced spatial memory loss and neurodegeneration.

This review examines hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in cases of surgical menopause following gynecological malignancies. It aims to capture current knowledge, summarize recent findings, and provide recommendations for clinical settings. Unlike natural menopause, surgical menopause occurs abruptly, without an adjustment period, and is associated with a notably higher risk of fractures, arthritis, cognitive decline, dementia, Parkinson's disease, and various metabolic disorders affecting glucose and lipid levels-all of which contribute to an increased risk of major cardiovascular events.

Premature ovarian failure (POF), is a condition characterized by the early decline of ovulation function.

Marked alterations in the normal female hormonal milieu in the perimenopausal period significantly affect women's health, leading to decreased well-being, psychological distress, and impaired quality of life. Common menopausal symptoms include hot flashes, sleep and mood changes, fatigue, weight gain, and urogenital disturbances. Clinicians often neglect mood swings and disrupted sleep, although those can significantly limit the productivity of women and impair their cognitive function and mental health.

Trichotillomania, a psycho-dermatologic disorder defined by self-inflicted often noticeable hair loss through hair-pulling, is difficult to manage and treat. Its etiology is multifactorial and frequently is complicated by comorbid conditions like anxiety and depression. Evidence-based treatment is limited but options involve a combination of pharmacotherapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), habit reversal training (HRT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).
