Diagnosing Perimenopause Symptoms
Perimenopausal symptoms are wide-ranging and they can have a significant detrimental impact on your quality of life. If you are feeling the effects of any of the following, you may be an ideal candidate for perimenopause treatment through BodyLogicMD.
- Irregular periods
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Mood swings, anxiety, or depression
- Sleep disturbances
- Vaginal dryness or discomfort during intimacy
- Decreased libido
- Fatigue and brain fog
- Weight gain, especially around the abdomen
- Hair thinning or skin changes
Waiting to pursue treatment can make perimenopause symptoms worse.
Irregular Periods
Perhaps the most common indicator of the perimenopause stage in a woman’s life, irregular periods are experienced as the menstrual cycle can become unpredictable. They may become shorter, extend for much longer than normal, accompanied by lighter or heavier flows, increased discomfort that comes and goes at strange intervals. The reason for these symptoms is due to the hormonal changes that impact the body’s natural ovulation processes.
Hot Flashes and Night Sweats
Experiencing hot flashes and night sweats are not just common menopause symptoms, they can start to be felt in the perimenopause stage. These are characterized as sudden sensations of warmth, causing you to sweat and appear flushed. You may feel these symptoms anytime, day or night, and they can have a negative impact on your daily routine, causing severe hot flashes or night sweats that can interfere with your health and well being.
Mood Swings
Another frequent symptom of perimenopause are mood swings. These are typically recognizable as increased feelings of anxiety, depression, and anger or irritability. Hormonal imbalance is the leading cause of mood swings and these feelings can become exacerbated by the usual stresses of daily life.
Sleep Disturbances
When you can’t sleep, your health and wellness are at risk. Sleep disturbances are a common concern as a premature menopause symptom, particularly if you are experiencing night sweats as a component of your inability to fall asleep or stay asleep. Changes in hormone levels, especially progesterone, can cause insomnia and leave you unable to sleep throughout the night.
Vaginal Dryness and Decreased Libido
Fatigue and Brain Fog
Women who are experiencing typical symptoms of perimenopause may also report feeling symptoms of fatigue and brain fog. If you find your energy declining or you are having difficulty focusing or concentrating on simple tasks, these may be attributed to hormonal imbalance.
Weight Gain
Weight gain is another common component of perimenopause symptoms as changes in weight, especially in the abdominal region of the body, are a result of a slowing metabolism brought on by age-related impacts.
Hair Thinning and Skin Changes
Reductions in the body’s natural ability to produce a variety of hormones may also lead to thinning hair and changes in skin moisture and appearance.
How Long Does Perimenopause Last?
The length of time in which a woman goes through perimenopause can vary dramatically. For some, it may last for a few months and others may experience this phase for a number of years. There is no specific timeframe for you to feel the symptoms of perimenopause. But it’s important to remember these symptoms are a natural part of the menopause transition that comes with the aging process.
