You're 46-55

You’re hot. You’re cold. You’re happy. You’re sad. You’re wondering, “What does normal even mean anymore?” The truth is this natural and gradual transition may not always feel natural and gradual to you. Let WHA’s specialists help you anticipate and manage your symptoms as you move through the transition to menopause.

Schedule an Appointment

You good?

One of the most important things we’ll cover at your wellness visit is what you’re doing for YOU. That starts with the well-being assessment you’ll complete in MyHealth before your visit. Of course, you don’t have to answer questions you’re uncomfortable with—but the more candid you can be with us, the more we can do to help. Eating healthy and being active play a big role in health and wellness, even more so as we age—but ultimately, you’ll define what wellness means to you. We are here to help you achieve whatever that is. If you’re having problems reaching your health goals, ask your provider if a visit with one of our behavioral health specialists might be right for you.

Hormones or…?

Entering the late 40s, many people begin wondering if changes they’re experiencing are related to perimenopause. The short answer is: maybe. Mood changes, sleep disturbances, weight gain, vaginal dryness and declining interest in sex are all common concerns during this time and can be linked to hormonal changes. People in this age range can also have many outside stressors—raising teenagers, caring for aging parents, job and relationship stress—that can cause or contribute to at least some of these symptoms. Your provider will want to explore these issues and work with you on the best plan for managing your symptoms—now and into the future. If there isn’t enough time at your wellness exam, your provider may recommend a follow-up office visit to do a more detailed evaluation.

When it's menopause

Menopause is defined as 12 months without a spontaneous period. In the United States, the average age of menopause is 51. To determine where you’re at in the transition, your provider will want to talk to you about whether or not you’re having regular menstrual cycles and other symptoms, such as discomfort with sex, hot flashes or trouble sleeping. If you’re post-menopausal, your provider will want to find out how you’re doing; are your symptoms manageable? Are you sleeping? Do you feel depressed?

Your symptoms, your plan

About 20% of people will go through menopause essentially symptom-free. Another 60% will have mild symptoms and 20% will have more severe symptoms that seriously impact their quality of life. The good news is: if you have symptoms, we can help. Many people have heard for years that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) poses too many health risks. But there are more recent, respected studies that show the benefits of HRT in people under 60 can outweigh the risks.

HRT is not a one-size fits all remedy; if we recommend something that you find doesn’t work, we will work together to find the right solution for you. And, we’re not going to pressure you into HRT—there are non-hormonal options we can discuss to improve your sleep and quality of life.

Expanding your care team

While we would love to see you for everything, now is an important time to establish a relationship with a primary care provider if you haven’t already. We can recommend the most important health screenings and even take care of many of them for you in our office—but if an issue arises with blood sugar, cholesterol or something else outside our realm of expertise, we may need to refer you to a primary care provider or other specialist to help.

Goodbye, Aunt Flow.

When it's menopause

Your symptoms, your plan

Expanding your care team

What matters right now

Here are some topics your provider may bring up.

Abnormal bleeding

Abnormal menstrual bleeding refers to menstrual cycles that are heavier, longer or more irregular than expected. This can mean soaking a pad or tampon every one to two hours, bleeding for more than seven days or having cycles that are too short (less than 21 days) or too long (more than 35 days). Spotting between periods or after sex can also be a sign of irregular bleeding. Understanding your bleeding patterns can help you recognize when to seek care.

Did you know?

More normal than you think

Heavy menstrual bleeding lasting more than seven days affects about one out of every five women in the U.S.

–Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

What matters right now

Here are some topics your provider may bring up.

Menopause

Menopause is the absence of spontaneous periods for 12 months and typically occurs around age 52. Early-onset menopause can happen between ages 40 and 45. Symptoms of the transition, called perimenopause, often begin 7 to 10 years earlier. Menopause hormone therapy (MHT) can help relieve symptoms, along with lifestyle changes like regular exercise and weight management.

Emotional wellbeing

Emotional health is your ability to cope with life’s ups and downs, manage stress and maintain positive relationships. It’s closely connected to mental and physical health. Paying attention to your feelings, getting support when needed and making time for movement and things that bring you joy all support emotional well-being.

Sex drive (libido)

Sex drive, or libido, is your interest in or desire for sexual activity. It’s influenced by hormones, stress, emotional well-being, relationships and often, your stage of life. It’s common for libido to shift during times like postpartum, menopause or illness. If you notice changes that concern you, talk to your provider.

Breast health

Breast health is about more than just getting mammograms. Being familiar with how your breasts normally look and feel, knowing your family history of breast cancer and taking daily steps—like staying active and limiting alcohol—can help lower your risk of breast cancer.

Disease prevention

Taking steps to prevent disease can protect your long-term health. Women face unique risks for conditions like heart disease, cancer and diabetes. Regular screenings, healthy lifestyle choices (like exercise, well-rounded nutrition, not smoking and not drinking regularly), along with early intervention can help lower these risks.

Abnormal bleeding

Heavy menstrual bleeding lasting more than seven days affects about one out of every five women in the U.S.

–Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Pregnancy prevention

Although fertility declines as we age, you can still get pregnant until menopause. Talk to your provider about your current health and risk of breast cancer to decide what type of contraception might be right for you.

Breast cancer screening

If you’ve chosen to wait to begin having mammograms to screen for breast cancer or have been–or have been on the every-other-year plan—your provider will recommend annual screening by age 50.

Cervical cancer screening

Pap smears with combined HPV testing continue until age 65. If your results are normal, your provider will likely recommend screening every three to five years, depending on what type of testing you’ve had in the past and your past results.

Sexually transmitted infections

Talk to your provider if you’ve had a new partner since your last screening. You should also be tested for HIV at least once. There is no agreement among medical professionals about how often re-testing should occur; your provider may assess your risk and recommend re-testing.

Early osteoporosis screening

Screening for osteoporosis is recommended for people of average risk beginning at age 65, but talk to your provider about starting earlier if you have had broken bones as an adult; you have a biological parent who has had a hip fracture; or if you smoke, drink excessively or are underweight. Also discuss screening frequency, which can vary from person to person.

Colon cancer screening

The U.S. Preventative Services Task Force recommends screening for colorectal cancer beginning at age 50, but talk to your WHA or primary care provider about starting screening earlier if you:

Have had a close relative with colorectal polyps or colorectal cancer

You have an inflammatory bowel disease, such as Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis.

You have certain genetic conditions.

General health screenings

We may be able to help with some of these when we see you. Otherwise, see your primary care provider for screening related to:

High blood pressure. Get your blood pressure checked every year. Optimal blood pressure in healthy people assigned female at birth is less than 120/80.

Diabetes. Screening for diabetes is recommended if you are overweight or obese, have high blood pressure, high cholesterol or have had diabetes during pregnancy.

Thyroid disease. Periodic screening is recommended beginning at age 45.

Cholesterol/lipids. Screening tests for high cholesterol are recommended periodically for all women, but may be done more frequently if you are overweight, obese or have other risk factors.

Don't forget your vaccines

We can help with seasonal flu and Tdap if you’re in to see us.

Seasonal flu vaccine is especially important for people with chronic health conditions, pregnant people, and older adults.

Tdap vaccine (if you’ve never had one) or a Td (tetanus, diphtheria) booster shot every 10 years.

Shingles vaccine. Healthy adults aged 50 years and older should get a zoster vaccine to prevent shingles and complications from the disease.
