Postmenopause is the stage of a woman's life that follows menopause. It begins one year after your last menstrual period. This phase is characterized by consistently low estrogen levels, representing your body's new hormonal baseline.
During postmenopause, estrogen levels remain low. While this can lead to challenges such as vaginal dryness and potential bone density issues, it also brings significant benefits. The most notable is the absence of menstrual periods.
This period often marks a time of self-discovery and personal growth. Many women find themselves feeling more confident and empowered.
Maintaining good bone health is crucial during postmenopause due to the decreased estrogen levels and increased risk of osteoporosis. A calcium-rich diet, regular exercise, and potential supplementation can help mitigate this risk.
Vaginal dryness is another common issue. Over-the-counter lubricants and moisturizers are readily available to address this discomfort.
Postmenopause is a natural transition. Focus on maintaining your health and well-being. This new chapter offers opportunities for personal growth and continued fulfillment. Consult with Balance Hormonal Wellness for personalized advice and support.
