When can it start?
Perimenopause, also referred to as menopausal transition, is the stage during which your body makes the natural transition to menopause, signaling the end of a woman’s reproductive years. While perimenopause typically starts in a woman’s 40’s, some women may notice changes as early as their mid-30’s.
What are the symptoms?
The majority of changes a woman will experience during perimenopause are due to uneven levels of estrogen. One of the first changes a woman usually notices is an irregular menstrual cycle, as the cycles will lengthen or shorten based on the estrogen levels in the body. Other symptoms include:
- Hot flashes
- Night sweats
- Mood changes
- Vaginal dryness
- Sleep disturbance
- Weight changes
- Frequent urination
Because symptoms may be subtle and/or appear gradually, a woman may not realize at first that they are all connected to the same thing – hormonal fluctuations connected to perimenopause. It is important to remember that women DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE WITH THESE SYMPTOMS! If you are a woman in your mid-30’s or older, starting Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement BEFORE perimenopause actually begins will be a game-changer. It IS possible to eliminate these symptoms before they ever start!
How can BHRT help?
The majority of perimenopause symptoms can be treated naturally through Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT). Unlike synthetic hormones, bio-identical hormones are identical to the hormones your body naturally produces. These plant-based hormones are a safe and natural solution to the hormonal depletion that naturally occurs over time.
Here at Tampa Bay Total Wellness, we can develop a customized plan to get hormone levels where they need to be to reduce or even eliminate perimenopause symptoms. The best part is if you are proactive and begin BHRT before these symptoms start, you may never feel them to begin with! Call TBTW today to learn about BHRT pellet therapy, topical creams, RDTs, and weekly injections!
