Frequently asked questions.

  • Perimenopause is a stage of transition before menopause. Menopause is diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without any uterine bleeding or spotting.
    During perimenopause, hormone levels, including estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, fluctuate significantly and can exhibit considerable variability, potentially leading to a range of symptoms. Perimenopause can occur up to 10 years before menopause and typically lasts on average of 4 yrs but some experience the transition for up to 8 years.

  • Perimenopause is not defined by an age or a blood test, rather the onset of perimenopausal symptoms. Common signs include irregular periods, hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, fatigue, and changes in sleep patterns. You may also experience changes in libido, memory, and skin. These symptoms can vary from woman to woman, and the transition can last several years. If you’re noticing these changes, it may be helpful to consult with a healthcare provider to discuss your symptoms and confirm if you're perimenopausal.

  • Treatment with hormone therapy for menopausal symptoms is not defined by an age. Rather, studies suggest that estrogen therapy is safest when started within 10 years of menopause.

    While hormone therapy may not be the safest or most appropriate option after 10+ yr post-menopause, there are other medications and lifestyle changes that can be made to help assist with your symptoms.
