Who searches for it, and why
Menopause treatment refers to medical and lifestyle options for easing menopause and perimenopause symptoms, including hormone therapy, non-hormonal drugs and supplements. People search it for hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings, options after breast cancer and treatment near them. In practice the searchers are women in their forties and fifties who feel under-served by general practitioners. Renewed acceptance of hormone therapy and dedicated telehealth clinics have grown the market quickly. It is a persistent problem with clear buyer intent, served by clinics, telehealth services, products and education.
Most people search it to learn about it. The search voices a problem people want solved.
