Women's health risks increase after menopause. Learn about health after menopause.
Postmenopause is the third and final stage of menopause. Staying healthy in this stage is important to manage the risk of osteoporosis and other conditions. After menopause, the decrease in estrogen levels causes a drop in bone density, especially in the first few years. Osteoporosis makes you more prone to fractures, especially in the hips, spine, and wrists. Adopting healthy lifestyle habits, like a balanced diet, regular exercise, and not smoking, can help manage these risks. Regular checkups with your doctor are also crucial.
