∙ 12y ago
Symptoms of estrogen deficiency in postmenopausal women include vaginal dryness and itching, urethritis & cystitis (commonly known as urethra or bladder infection), high blood pressure, fractures, bone pain, foot and leg cramps, osteoporosis, facial hair growth, skin wrinkles, hot flashes, brain fog (loss of concentration and forgetfulness), and vaginal discharge. In addition, for most women, underarm and leg and pubic hair becomes finer and less prevalent. Not all women will experience all of these symptoms. Hot flashes are not as common as they are during menopause itself, but some women experience them up to 10 years after their last period. Occasionally bleeding will occur. If this occurs check with your doctor immediately, as it can be a symptom of a serious health problem. Post menopause symptoms will ease over time. Postmenopausal women do still have periods, generally very irregular. Generally no bleeding occurs (if it does see your doctor), but premenstrual and menstrual symptoms such as back ache, headache, irritability fatigue, cramps, cravings for salt and chocolate, and bloating will arise. Like a woman's regular periods, these periods can last for several days, or may simply be present for a day or two.

Can a woman who is in menopause still have hot flashes..I thought this was a pre-menopausal symptom?
There has been some misunderstanding about this topic. Technically, Vaso-motor Symptoms (VMS), commonly known as "hot flashes" is a symptom of primary estrogen failure--in other words, active menopause. Estrogen is unique among the 17-keto steroids (estrogen, progesterone and testotsterone, among a few others) in that symptoms of estrogen deficiency are evoked in **minutes**. For example, a woman who just had a complete hysterectomy (including ovaries) must leave the recovery room wearing an estrogen patch or she will go in to menopausal hot flashes before she even gets back to her room. It happens right away. That is why women get the sudden off-and-on onset of sweats and hot flashes as the ovaries go through their "death throes." Sustained bouts of ovarian failure in this fashion, along with elevated FSH and LH (as the pituitary tries to flog more estrogen out of the failing ovaries) is what signals actual menopause. Eventually, the woman's body re establishes homeostasis, and the body ajdusts to life without estrogen. There are therapies for that, but that is another subject. Pre-menopause on the other hand, is more poorly defined. (note: author is a pharmacist)

Vitamin E Suppositories for Menopausal Symptoms?

You should consult a healthcare practitioner to eliminate diabetes, infections and other reasons for vaginal dryness. Vitamin E suppositories offer a gentle and natural solution for women who can't or don't want to utilize hormone replacements. Vitamin E can soothe irritated and inflamed vaginal tissue. It can also modulate other menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes, heart palpitation and night sweats. Vitamin E is an effective antioxidant that slows physical and mental aging.
