Estrogen buffers your brain's fear circuitry. When it drops in perimenopause, old trauma can resurface. Here's the neuroscience behind why — and what helps.
Estrogen withdrawal changes how moles behave after menopause. Here's what the evidence says about melanoma risk, pigmentation shifts, and when to get checked.
