Perimenopause & Menopause
Perimenopause and menopause are natural stages in a woman's life, but they can often come with a host of uncomfortable symptoms that impact daily life.
Irregular periods: Changes in menstrual cycle length, frequency, and flow are common during perimenopause. Periods may become heavy and irregular before eventually stopping altogether during menopause.
Hot flashes: Sudden feelings of intense heat, often accompanied by sweating and flushing of the face and upper body, are a hallmark symptom of menopause.
Night sweats: Similar to hot flashes, night sweats involve sudden episodes of sweating during sleep, which can disrupt sleep patterns and lead to fatigue.
Sleep disturbances: Many women experience difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep during perimenopause and menopause, often due to night sweats, hormonal fluctuations, or other factors.
Mood swings: Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can contribute to mood swings, irritability, anger, anxiety, and depression.
Vaginal dryness: Declining estrogen levels can lead to vaginal dryness, itching, discomfort during intercourse, and an increased risk of urinary tract infections.
Decreased libido: Changes in hormone levels can also affect sexual desire and arousal, leading to a decrease in libido for some women.
Weight gain: Many women experience weight gain, particularly around the abdomen, during perimenopause and menopause, which can be attributed to hormonal changes, decreased metabolism, and lifestyle factors.
Changes in skin and hair: Decreased estrogen levels can contribute to changes in skin elasticity, drier skin, a shift in hair texture and hair loss/thinning hair for some women.
Cognitive changes: Some women may experience memory lapses, difficulty concentrating, or "brain fog" during perimenopause and menopause.
