Perimenopause & Menopause Care
You Don’t Have to Feel This Way
Many women are surprised to learn that hormonal changes can begin years before menopause. Symptoms often start during perimenopause, the transitional years when hormone levels begin to fluctuate — affecting nearly every aspect of your physical and emotional well‑being.
Understanding the transition
Perimenopause & Menopause, Explained
What Is Perimenopause?
Perimenopause is the natural transition leading up to menopause. It often begins in a woman’s 40s, although some women experience symptoms earlier. During this time, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels begin to fluctuate and gradually decline — and women may experience symptoms for several years before reaching menopause.
What Is Menopause?
Menopause is officially diagnosed after a woman has gone 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period. Although it marks the end of reproductive years, hormonal changes continue to affect many women long after their last period. The good news: you don’t have to simply accept these symptoms as a normal part of aging.
