Not all women require treatment to relieve symptoms of the menopause, but treatments are available if you find the symptoms particularly troublesome.
What is perimenopause and menopause?
The perimenopause is a time of hormonal change prior to your periods ending and can last a number of years. This can start around the age of 40. During this time your hormones are fluctuating and changes in your oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone levels can lead to many symptoms.
Menopause is just one day in your life!
That day is exactly one year since having your final period, then you’re post menopausal for the rest of your life. Symptoms may persist as you age if you don’t address them as early as possible.
