The Perimenopause Care we deserve

 In the past 5 years a large discussion has erupted online: Perimenopause.

A word that... most women had never even heard of.

Menopause? Yeah.

Perimenopause... what the heck is that?!

 Lo-and-behold there's a roughly 7-to-10 year transition time leading up to menopause where hormones go... awry.

This is one of the most tumultuous times in a woman's life, and yet... when she seeks medical advice she's often dismissed or offered anti-depression medication.

Thankfully, Gen X and Millennials are getting VOCAL about this transition, educating the younger generation, and demanding proper treatment from medical providers.

So... how are those demands going?

Uh... slow. 

Unfortunately the medical system is behind when it comes to caring for women through something that every woman who lives long enough will go through. Crazy, right?

The fluctuation and inevitable drop in hormones have long reaching effects, on the bones, muscle, heart, and brain.

On top of that, the symptoms of perimenopause can be incredible challenging to live with, including (but not limited too):

  • hot flashes 
  • night sweats
  • mood sings
  • anxiety
  • depression
  • brain fog
  • dizziness
  • vaginal dryness
  • low libido
  • heart palpitations
  • urgency to pee
  • insomnia
  • itchy skin/earns
  • tinnitus
  • joint pain/inflammation

The science is clear: Hormone therapy can help prevent severe negative health consequences for women and alleviate symptoms.

Unfortunately, most of the doctors out there have had less than 1 day of medical training regarding perimenopause and menopause.

Luckily, advocates such as Mary Claire Haver MD are spearheading the charge in the medical field to make changes.
