Welcome to EmpowHER. Most providers consider a woman to be post-menopausal when she hasn’t had a vaginal bleed for one year.Of course, all women experience changes differently, and therefore the age-range of when women first become postmenopausal is great. Natural postmenopause as opposed to induced usually begins in women between their late 40s to early 60s. Often, women are led to believe that all the uncomfortable symptoms associated with menopause disappear once postmenopause begins. This however, is not always the case, and the symptoms some women may experience when they are postmenopausal are very similar to those they are already familiar with.
