Perimenopausal Cognitive Stability

Meaning

Perimenopausal Cognitive Stability refers to the maintenance of consistent, high-level executive function and memory performance throughout the perimenopausal transition, a period characterized by significant and fluctuating ovarian hormone withdrawal. Achieving this stability involves mitigating the transient, yet often profound, cognitive deficits—such as ‘brain fog’ and difficulty with word recall—that are directly linked to estrogen fluctuations. Clinical interventions are targeted to buffer the neuroendocrine system against this hormonal turbulence.
