Post Menopause: FAQs
Q: I thought menopause would solve my symptoms, but I still have some hot flashes and dryness. Why?
Some symptoms linger after menopause, especially dryness. Treatments are available and can bring relief.
Q: Am I at higher risk for anything now that I’m past menopause?
Yes. Risks for osteoporosis and heart disease increase. Regular check-ups, exercise, and a healthy diet are very important.
Q: I feel a bit sad and not myself – is that normal?
It’s common to feel low after menopause due to life changes and hormone shifts. Support, counselling, and healthy routines can help.
Q: My sex drive isn’t what it used to be; is that normal?
