Checkup

When is it time for a menopause checkup?

In Symptoms the Menopause Society (formerly the North American Menopause Society) explain:

Menopause Checkup“As women enter the menopause transition, regular visits with a healthcare professional are an important part of navigating the changes of menopause and their options for management. A clinician with expertise in managing menopause, such as a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP), can offer special care for women with troublesome symptoms or specific health risks. A searchable listing of MSCPs can be found on the website of The Menopause Society”.2

Regular Checkups

What regular checkups are needed?

In Menopause: Symptoms & Causes – Symptoms: When To See A Doctor the (United States) Mayo Clinic explain:

“Keep seeing your healthcare professional for wellness visits and medical concerns before, during and after menopause”.3

Bleeding After Menopause

Is bleeding from the vagina normal after menopause?

No. The Mayo Clinic note:

“See your healthcare professional as soon as you can if you bleed from your vagina after menopause”.4

The (United Kingdom) NHS also note:

“Bleeding between periods, bleeding after having sex, or bleeding after the menopause needs to be checked by a doctor”.5

Health Care Provider

Apart from a menopause checkup and regular checkups, when should I see my health care provider?

In What Is Menopause? When To See Your Doctor the (Australian) Jean Hailes for Women’s Health explain:

“Talk to your doctor if you are worried about:

  • Irregular periods
  • Heavy bleeding
  • Bleeding after menopause
  • Increased premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms
  • Menopausal symptoms, such as hot flushes, that interfere with your daily life”.6
