What Is Itchy Skin?
During menopause, some women may experience itchy skin, also known as pruritus. Itchy skin refers to a sensation of discomfort that prompts the urge to scratch. This symptom can occur on various parts of the body and may range from mild to severe. Hormonal changes during menopause, particularly the decline in estrogen levels, can contribute to alterations in the skin’s moisture balance, leading to dryness and itchiness.
