Are vaginal dryness and painful intercourse common symptoms of menopause? Is there anything I can do about it?
I am postmenopausal and am experiencing vaginal dryness and pain during intercourse. How can I discuss these problems with my health care professional?
Is it common to experience mood swings and depression during the years leading into menopause and immediately after?
I guess I'm now in menopause, because I'm having symptoms. I am going to start bioidentical hormone therapy with a doctor who specializes in this type of hormone therapy. Once I start on this hormone therapy, will it remain the same or will the amount of supplemental hormones have to change as I grow older? (I am 49, and the longest I have gone without a period is four to five months.)
I did not have a period for 11 months. Then I had a period. Does this mean I have to wait another 12 months to be sure it is menopause?
Pregnancy tests can tell if you're pregnant. Can a menopause test tell you that you're not going to have any more periods?
I'm 49 and having periods every couple of months. I'm also having hot flashes. What's the best remedy?
I'm noticing a drop in sexual desire, but I don't want to use hormones, drugs, or herbs. Are there any alternatives?
I've read that abnormal bleeding is the most common symptom of endometrial cancer, but doesn't every perimenopausal woman have abnormal bleeding? How do I know when to mention it to my doctor? I'm afraid he'll say, "Of course you have abnormal bleeding; you're going through menopause," and I'll feel like an idiot.
