Postmenopause - Renewal Hormone Center

What is postmenopause?

Postmenopause refers to the time after a woman has gone 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period, marking the end of her menopausal transition. This typically occurs between the ages of 45-55.

Some key things to know:

• During the perimenopausal transition leading up to postmenopause, women experience changes like hot flashes, sleep disturbances, and mood changes due to fluctuating estrogen levels. These typically improve after menstruation stops.
• In postmenopause, women have decreased levels of hormones like estrogen and progresterone. This puts them at higher risk for conditions like osteoporosis.
• Most women continue to lead active, healthy lives in postmenopause. However lifestyle measures like regular exercise, calcium/vitamin D intake, and avoiding risk factors can help prevent complications.
• Vaginal dryness and discomfort are common due to lower estrogen. If problematic, women should see their doctor for possible treatment options like vaginal estrogen creams or lubricants.
• There is no set time when postmenopause ends. It describes the state after permanent loss of menstrual cycles.
