Postmenopause is a long stage that extends into old age and that, with the increase of life expectancy, represents more than a third of a woman\u2019s life years in many countries<\/strong>. Therefore, it is important to promote positive changes in habits and lifestyle, so that women can live their life with good health.<\/p>

It should be noted that changes to ovarian function are added to those of ageing, which increase the risk of developing certain diseases and health disorders or pathologies such as osteoporosis<\/a>, osteoarthritis, cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes and cancer.<\/p>

Therefore, it is very important that women take care of their health and continue to undergo gynaecological check-ups at least up to 70 years of age plus regular physical, pelvic, colorectal, breast, bone density and skin examinations.<\/p>

It consists of two phases: a first one in which the changes and discomfort caused by hormonal imbalances are still noticeable, and a second in which the female hormones level out and stop causing problems.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
