Bodies after menopause

Women often experience a number of symptoms and body changes at mid-life, some of which may be due to lower levels of oestrogen.

This information sheet covers some of the most common concerns for women, together with treatment options.

Skin

Features noted as a result of oestrogen deficiency following menopause may include dryness, loss of elasticity and vascularity, thinning of the skin and increased wrinkling. These changes result in poor wound healing, hair loss and pigmentary changes, all of which may be delayed with oestrogen administration. Acne and unwanted hair growth may also occur . Wrinkling is aggravated by smoking and sun exposure. Smoking and sun exposure should be avoided. 

These visible symptoms may cause considerable distress. 

Some studies suggest oestrogen may potentially have a beneficial effect on skin healing .
