Health Watch: Postmenopause

Postmenopause is defined as the time in life after you have not had a period for 12 months or longer. Laura Ferraro, MD, an OB-GYN physician at the Medical Center, talks about what women experience during postmenopause and the importance of certain preventive screening, in particular osteoporosis screening. While weight gain is often inevitable, she encourages women to lead a healthy lifestyle and have regular conversations with their primary care provider or gynecologist if they have concerns.
