I am 49. Until recently, I've been having a very heavy, extended period. But lately, I haven't had much of a period at all—until this month. This month it's been very heavy and has lasted for three weeks. What should I do?
I have just been diagnosed with osteopenia. What is this? I am about to begin post-breast cancer treatment with the aromatase inhibitor Arimidex, which I understand will increase my chance of bone loss. Any information would be appreciated.
What preventive tests should middle-aged women receive to prevent serious illness?
I am a perimenopausal woman who has been experiencing rash-like symptoms prior to my periods for several months now. This month the rash was not only around my groin/pelvic/rectum area it also covered my neck and was red, blotchy and itchy. Are these rashes common to perimenopause?
I had a partial hysterectomy four years ago due to fibroids. I was 48 years old and weighed 116 pounds. (I'm five-foot-one.) Now I weigh 137 pounds. I have not changed my diet or exercise routine. I still have my ovaries. Do you think it was just the hysterectomy that caused my weight gain? What can I do to lose weight?
