Abstract
Menopause is a natural transition affecting women’s physical and
emotional well-being and can cause vasomotor symptoms, sleep disturbance, mood
changes, genitourinary complaints, and reduced quality of life.
Non-pharmacological interventions (NPIs) — such as cognitive-behavioral therapy
(CBT), structured exercise, yoga, mindfulness, sleep hygiene, and
community-based lifestyle programs are widely used either as first-line
measures when hormone therapy is contraindicated or as adjuncts to
pharmacotherapy. This article reviews current evidence for NPIs, discusses
practical implementation in a selected community setting in Indore (Madhya
Pradesh, India), and proposes a community-level model for delivery and
evaluation. Overall, moderate-quality evidence supports CBT for vasomotor and
psychological symptoms and accumulating evidence supports yoga and exercise for
psychological and somatic complaints. Community programs that combine
education, group activities, and culturally appropriate lifestyle modification
may be feasible and acceptable in Indore, but should be evaluated with locally
conducted implementation studies.
