Postmenopause - Renew Hormone Center

What is postmenopause?

Postmenopause refers to the stage that begins one year after a woman's last menstrual period. At this point, a woman is considered to have gone through the transition of menopause.

The key things to know about postmenopause are:

• Hormonal changes - Estrogen and progesterone levels remain low after menopause. This can lead to symptoms like hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and sleep disturbances for some women.
• Increased health risks - The reduced estrogen levels associated with postmenopause can increase a woman's risk for certain health conditions like osteoporosis and heart disease. Regular screenings and preventative care become especially important.
• Symptom management - Symptoms vary widely among women. Lifestyle changes like avoiding triggers, managing stress, and cooling down can help. For moderate to severe symptoms that impact quality of life, hormone therapy may provide relief under the supervision of a doctor.
• Routine care - Yearly well-woman visits focus on age-appropriate screenings, immunizations, and counseling on health promotion. Things like bone density scans, cholesterol checks, and cancer screenings help detect problems early.

While the effects of menopause and postmenopause are unique for each woman, being informed of what to expect and what preventative measures to take can help women transition smoothly through this stage of life.
