Perimenopause - Renewal Hormone Center

Perimenopause refers to the time leading up to menopause, when a woman's body makes the natural transition toward permanent infertility. The hallmark of perimenopause is hormonal imbalances - especially fluctuating estrogen levels. This usually begins in a woman's 40s, but can start earlier or later. During perimenopause, many women experience symptoms like:

• Hot flashes and night sweats
• Mood swings and irritability
• Trouble sleeping
• Vaginal dryness
• Irregular periods
• Decreased sex drive

"I felt like my body was out of control. The hot flashes and mood swings were terrible. I finally got help from Renewal Hormone Center, and now I feel so much better on their bioidentical hormone therapy program."* - Jane D., Renewal Hormone Center Patient

While perimenopause usually lasts 1-4 years, some women can suffer debilitating symptoms for much longer without proper treatment. Thankfully, solutions exist to help ease this transition time. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can effectively:

• Reduce hot flashes
• Improve sleep
• Level out mood
• Restore sex drive
• Ease vaginal symptoms

In summary, perimenopause refers to the transitional stage before menopause when hormones become erratic. Though symptoms vary widely, many women have severe hot flashes, mood changes, and other issues that disrupt their quality of life. Help exists! Bioidentical hormones can safely and effectively treat perimenopausal symptoms when prescribed by a trained medical professional.
