- This post is a follow up to our previous one regarding postmenopausal health. The last post was about some of the long-term postmenopausal health issues that can occur. This one will focus on what you can do now to safeguard yourself from those issues. Below are some of the things you can do now:
- Stay in touch with your doctor. Have regular checkups and screenings. This will help you stop problems before they start and/or start treatment early, if needed.
- You are your own best advocate. You know your body better than anyone else, including doctors, do. If something feels off, talk to your doctor about it. If they aren't very receptive at first, keep at it. Find another doctor who will listen to you, if necessary.
- Live a healthy lifestyle. Be active, eat healthy, both are essential foundations for wellness regardless of age. If you need advice about either, talk to your doctor.
- You need to stay informed. Remember, knowledge is powerful so keep up with what is going on with your health and what might be available to you.
- Post menopausal years can be good years. Enjoy them.
