There Is a Medical Reason for What You’re Feeling
Perimenopause and menopause are not short transitions. For many women, symptoms develop gradually and can last for years — often up to a decade.
During perimenopause, hormone levels don’t simply decline — they fluctuate unpredictably. Then, after menopause, they decline and your body will never make estrogen in the same way again. These shifts can affect multiple systems in the body at the same time, even when periods are still regular and symptoms can continue through the lifetime after menopause.
When symptoms persist, change, or interfere with daily life over years, they deserve thoughtful medical care — not waiting it out.
We routinely treat medical conditions that affect quality of life over time. Perimenopause and menopause deserve the same level of attention.
