Menopause

begins when:

You’ve gone 12 consecutive months with no period and you're no longer ovulating
Did you know? That last period has a name: Final Menstrual Period (FMP).
Estrogen and progesterone remain low and steady

You may still experience hot flashes or sleep disruption, and new symptoms and priorities will continue to evolve → and your care should evolve too.

What you might notice

Vaginal dryness or discomfort
Urinary urgency or infections
Hot flashes that persist or return
Changes in memory or focus
Less interest in intimacy or discomfort during sex

These changes are common. But they are not something you have to accept without options.

What real science shows

On average, women spend over a third of their lives being postmenopausal. Source
20% of women in their late 50s, 10% of women in their 60s, and 5% of women in their 70s experience persistent hot flashes after their FMP. Source
Hormone therapy is still effective for symptom relief and prevention when started before age 60 or within 10 years of menopause. Source
