With this score, it’s less likely that hormonal changes are the main reason for your memory lapses. Other factors such as stress, lack of sleep, or even nutritional deficiencies might be playing a role. It’s worth taking a closer look at your lifestyle and overall health to identify potential contributors. If your memory lapses persist or worsen, consulting with a healthcare provider can help you explore other underlying causes and find ways to address them.

Your score suggests that your memory lapses are likely connected to hormonal changes, which can occur during stages like perimenopause or menopause. These changes can impact cognitive functions, leading to occasional forgetfulness or difficulty concentrating. It’s important to bring up these concerns with your healthcare provider. They can help you explore potential treatments or lifestyle adjustments to manage these symptoms effectively and maintain cognitive health.
