Perimenopausal Health

Meaning

Perimenopausal health is a clinical focus on the well-being of women during the transitional phase leading up to menopause, which is characterized by fluctuating and often unpredictable ovarian hormone production. This period typically lasts several years and is marked by the onset of symptoms such as irregular menstrual cycles, vasomotor symptoms, and sleep disturbances due to the erratic endocrine shifts. Effective clinical management requires a nuanced approach to stabilizing hormonal fluctuations and addressing the emergent physiological symptoms to maintain quality of life.
