People in post menopause are at risk of heart disease and osteoporosis. Medication and healthy lifestyle change may reduce the risk of these conditions. 
         Some hormonal changes occurs after menopause, your ovaries are making very little or both estrogen and progesterone by the time you're in postmenopause some people still experiencing side effect from this low hormone level.
