Perimenopause, or the menopausal transition, is the natural process a woman’s body goes through as a result of declining hormone levels. Once a woman has gone 12 months without a period, she has officially reached menopause and the end of her reproductive years. This period of time is marked by frustrating symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness. Many women just feel “off” and unlike themselves, which leads them to search for ways to alleviate their symptoms. While there is no treatment to cure menopause, there are options when it comes to symptom management, such as HRT for menopause. Keep reading to learn more!
