Is there a relationship between menopause and blood pressure?

Patient's question:

Here is the English translation of the provided text:
"Blood pressure has been high for the past two months, ranging between 110-160. All major biochemical tests are normal. What could be the reason for this?"

Doctor's answer:

Monitor your blood pressure for 2 to 3 days in a row. If the readings remain consistent, it can be diagnosed as hypertension. By correcting unhealthy habits, such as engaging in appropriate exercise to lose weight, following a low-sodium and low-fat diet, quitting smoking and alcohol, and maintaining a positive mood, if the blood pressure remains high after a year of this approach, oral antihypertensive medication should be considered.
Hypertension is a gynecological disease that is prone to occur during menopause. During medication, women should pay attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients maintain clean external genital hygiene and change their underwear frequently. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery.
