Perimenopausal Hormone Balance

Meaning

Perimenopausal hormone balance describes the dynamic, often erratic, state of endocrine equilibrium during the transitional period leading up to menopause. This phase is characterized by unpredictable fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone levels, rather than a simple, steady decline. Clinically, restoring this balance focuses on mitigating the disruptive physical and psychological symptoms arising from these intense hormonal shifts. It is a period of heightened sensitivity to hormonal variability.
