Menopause occurs
when a woman’s reproductive
cycle is
over and she can no
longer produce offspring.
For many women, menopause
occurs around age 50.
While menopause itself is
not a risk for breast or other
cancers, it’s important to
know that some symptom
treatments and other factors
can increase the risk for
cancer among menopausal
women.
The North American
Menopause Society says
that a woman going through
perimenopause and menopause
may experience various
symptoms, which can
range from hair loss to food
cravings to hot flashes to
vaginal dryness. The National
Institutes of Health
indicates some women undergo
combined hormone
therapy, also called hormone
replacement therapy
to help relieve menopausal
symptoms such as hot flashes
and osteoporosis. This
therapy replaces estrogen
and progestin, which diminish
in a woman’s body after
menopause sets in. However,
NIH’s Women’s Health
Initiative Study has found
that women undergoing this
therapy have a higher risk
of breast cancer, among other
conditions.
WebMD says evidence
suggests that the longer
a woman is exposed to female
hormones, whether
it’s those made by the body,
taken as a drug, or delivered
by a patch, the more likely
she is to develop breast cancer.
That means that hormone
replacement therapy
can increase breast cancer
risk and also indicates that
the longer a woman remains
fertile the greater her risk
for certain cancers. Women

age 12 or entered menopause
after age 55 will have
had many ovulations. This
increases the risk of uterine,
breast, and ovarian cancers,
states the American Society
of Clinical Oncology. It
also may impact a woman’s
chances of developing endometrial
cancer.
Gaining weight after
menopause can also increase
a woman’s risk of breast cancer,
states the MD Anderson
Cancer Center. Therefore,
maintaining a healthy weight
or even losing a little weight
can be beneficial.
Women who enter menopause
are not necessarily at
a higher risk for breast cancer,
but some factors tied to
menopause can play a role.
Women who want to lower
their risk for various cancers
are urged to eat healthy diets,
quit smoking and maintain
healthy body weights.
