What non-hormonal changes occur at the menopause?

The endometrium (lining of your womb) will become thin and inactive as there is no longer a cyclical output of reproductive hormones and periods will no longer occur.

Oestrogens encourage your body to have typical female contours and they strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. After the menopause, there may be some reduction in the female contours and the pelvic floor may weaken (3). Your skin may become less smooth. Despite popular belief, there is no evidence that body weight, blood pressure, or blood glucose alter as a result of the menopause. Cholesterol levels do rise a little.
