Perimenopause
Navigate perimenopause with expert, compassionate care tailored to your needs. This stage of life can bring big changes — but you don’t have to face them alone.
What is perimenopause?
Perimenopause is the natural transition leading up to menopause, when your hormone levels (especially estrogen) start to fluctuate. It can begin in your 40s — sometimes even late 30s — and can last several years before your periods stop completely.
Who does it affect?
Perimenopause affects all women at some point, but everyone’s experience is different. Some women notice only subtle changes, while others face significant physical and emotional symptoms that affect daily life.
Common symptoms include:
- Irregular or heavy periods
- Hot flushes or night sweats
- Mood swings, anxiety, or irritability
- Poor sleep or fatigue
- Vaginal dryness or discomfort
- Low libido
- Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
- Weight gain or bloating
