Women can begin to experience the symptoms associated with perimenopause as early as age 35. Women tend to begin the transition into menopause around the same age when their mother or another female relative did. However, genetic and environmental factors also play a significant role in when the transition begins. Symptoms of perimenopause are the result of decreasing hormone levels. Supplementing with prescription-strength bioidentical hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and pregnenolone) can improve the following symptoms:
Irregular menstruation
Heavier or lighter flow
Mood swings, irritability, depression, anxiety
PMS
Hot flashes, night sweats
Insomnia
Weight gain, fluid retention, bloating
Headaches, migraines
Low libido
Vaginal dryness
Urinary incontinence
