Synopsis

Menopause doesn't simply end when you reach 60. And neither do the questions.

For many women, the years after menopause bring an entirely new set of concerns. Hot flashes may linger. Sleep can change. Weight may become harder to manage. Vaginal and urinary symptoms can appear or worsen. Bone density, heart health, memory, sexual wellness, medications, and hormone therapy may suddenly require more attention than they did before.

Menopause After 60 was written specifically for women entering this important stage of life.

In this comprehensive and easy-to-understand reference guide, Maren J Shaw explores what happens to a woman's body after menopause—and how to distinguish changes related to menopause from those that may simply accompany aging or deserve further medical evaluation.

Inside you'll discover practical information about:

  • Persistent hot flashes and night sweats
  • Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and other hormones
  • Hormone replacement therapy after age 60
  • Starting, continuing, or reconsidering HRT later in life
  • Bone loss, osteoporosis, and fracture prevention
  • Heart and cardiovascular health
  • Vaginal dryness, painful intercourse, and urinary concerns
  • Sexual health and intimacy after menopause
  • Weight gain, metabolism, and maintaining muscle
  • Sleep problems and fatigue
  • Brain fog, memory changes, and cognitive health
  • Mood, anxiety, and emotional well-being
  • Thyroid and other conditions that can resemble menopause symptoms
  • Medications, vitamins, and supplements
  • Preventive screenings and healthy-aging strategies
  • Symptoms that should never simply be dismissed as "just menopause"
  • Questions to discuss with your healthcare provider

Written in a professional yet approachable style, Menopause After 60 is designed to help women become better informed about their bodies and more confident when discussing their health with their medical providers.

Whether you're 60, 65, 70, or beyond, menopause is only one part of your health story.

This stage of life deserves information created specifically for you.
