Perimenopause refers to the time leading up to menopause, when a woman's body is going through the transition to permanent infertility. This phase can begin up to 10 years before a woman's final period. On average, perimenopause starts for most women around their late 40s, but it can begin earlier or later.
During the perimenopausal transition, a woman may experience various symptoms as her hormones fluctuate and estrogen levels decline. Common symptoms include:
While perimenopause can be uncomfortable for some women due to difficult symptoms, managing this transition time is possible with the right help. Lifestyle measures like avoiding alcohol, caffeine and spicy foods, staying cool, exercising regularly, and managing stress can provide relief. There are also various medical treatments that can ease symptoms dramatically if they start impacting quality of life.
At Second Spring Hormone Clinic(), our caring medical team specializes in perimenopause and menopause management. We provide customized hormone therapy including high-quality bioidentical hormones to help women regain balance and feel like themselves again during this transition. Compared to conventional hormone therapy, bioidentical hormones are plant-based and molecularly identical to the hormones made by the female body. This makes them easier for the body to process with fewer side effects.
Our compassionate practitioners carefully evaluate each woman's unique hormone profile and health history to develop an individualized treatment plan. We partner with patients to track symptoms and adjust dosages over time to optimize relief. Many women find our therapies very effective for reducing hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, sleep troubles, vaginal atrophy symptoms, and low libido during perimenopause and beyond.
