When To Call A Professional

You should see your doctor if you have any of the following:

• Periods that come closer together than every 21 days

• Periods that last longer than seven days

• Periods that are very heavy

• Bleeding between periods

• Vaginal bleeding that starts after menopause (after one year without a period)

Prognosis

Although menopause can cause some uncomfortable symptoms, both lifestyle practices and medication can help to ease these symptoms and complications.
