After Menopause

What is it important for women to note about their health after menopause?

In Health After Menopause the (Australian) Jean Hailes for Women’s Health (JH) note:

Women’s Health 65+
“After menopause, changes to the spread of body fat and body shape increases a woman’s risk of cardiovascular disease, and lower levels of oestrogen also increase the risk of bladder weakness and osteoporosis”.2

Checkups

What health checkups do women 65+ require?

In Women Over 60 the JH elaborate on:

“The complete range of medical checks and screening procedures required throughout life will vary for every person, depending on individual risks, medical background and family history. Talk to your doctor about what tests you require to maintain your health”.3

Health Care Provider

If I feel fine do, I still need to see my health care provider regularly?

Even if you feel fine, it may be in your best interest to choose to see your health care provider regularly.

In Health Screenings for Women Age 65 and Older: Information the (United States) MedlinePlus elaborate on:

“Even if you feel fine, you should still see your provider for regular checkups. These visits can help you avoid problems in the future. For example, the only way to find out if you have high blood pressure is to have it checked regularly. High blood sugar and high cholesterol levels also may not have any symptoms in the early stages. A simple blood test can check for these conditions”.4
