Category: Perimenopause

Perimenopause is the time leading up to menopause, typically spanning from your late 30s to early 50s. During perimenopause, you may experience fluctuating hormone levels, which can cause various symptoms, such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. It is marked by several symptoms and signs, including weight gain, hair loss, acne, insomnia, and hot flashes. The cause of these symptoms and signs is not fully understood, but it is thought to be related to the decrease in estrogen levels that occurs during perimenopause. Some women find their symptoms severe enough to interfere with their daily lives, while others experience only a few mild symptoms. There is no cure for perimenopause, but there are a number of treatments available that can help relieve the symptoms.

There is no one “right” way to approach perimenopause, but there are a number of treatments and lifestyle changes that may help lessen your symptoms. Some women choose to take hormone therapy (HT) to help regulate their hormones, while others may try herbal remedies or lifestyle changes like diet and exercise. Talk to your doctor about what’s right for you.
