  1. Gee, I went through memopause 15 years ago, after waiting for it for five years, starting at age 51, to show up and almost giving up on the idea of it ever happening to me. Once over it, I was fine and free of all the hormonal upheavals, heart palpitations (which all my doctors denied was a symptom of menopause, even though it was my worst symptom) and hotflashes. I never took hormones and never will, and I take note that the first thing mammographers ask when you go in for mammogram, "how many years did you take oral contraceptives for" and "are you on hormonal therapy now, and how many years are/were you on HRT". My answer: None. And now, at 71 I have no dementia, osteoporosis, depression, heart disease, cancer, etc., and the dryness this doctor mentioned is nothing worse than the dryness that existed and was caused by breastfeeding my babies years ago. OTC lubrication is effective treatment for this.
