Basics of Menopause

Menopause refers to the time when monthly periods stop. For most women, menopause usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 55 and is a transition that may take years.

Bleeding After Menopause

After you go through menopause - periods have stopped for 12 months - you should not have bleeding. Although there may be some common causes, all bleeding after menopause should be checked out by your doctor.

Hormone Therapy

Hormone therapy is used to help with hot flashes and other symptoms. But it can also carry some risks, so it's important to discuss with your doctor if this option is right for you.

Perimenopause

The time leading up to menopause is called perimenopause and usually starts about four years before your last period. Hormone levels change, and your period becomes less regular.
