      Postmenopause

        1. How Will I Know When I'm Postmenopausal?

          The time of a woman's life following menopause is called postmenopause. During this time, many of the bothersome symptoms that a woman experienced prior to menopause, gradually ease for most women.

        2. Maintaining a Healthy Lifestyle

          There are a number of steps women in postmenopause can take to stay healthy and feel better. It's as easy as remembering your ABCs, and D, E, and F.

        3. Postmenopausal Bleeding

          If you have completed menopause -- gone without a period for more than one year -- you should not experience any menstrual bleeding. Even a little spotting is not normal after menopause.

        4. Pap Test After Menopause

          A Pap test looks for changes in the cells of the cervix that show cervical cancer or conditions that may develop into cancer.
