What is postmenopause?

Postmenopause is the time after menopause when a woman has not experienced a period for over a year. Once you are postmenopausal, your hormone levels will remain at a constant low level.

Postmenopause and health concerns

  • Heart health – decline in estrogen may increase your risk for heart disease.
  • Bone health – postmenopausal women are more likely to develop osteoporosis.
  • Vaginal health – the vagina thrives on estrogen. When estrogen levels decline, vaginal atrophy can happen.
  • Metabolism – lower estrogen may lower your metabolic rate.
