Perimenopausal Symptom Modulation

Meaning

The clinical strategy of actively regulating and mitigating the constellation of physical and emotional symptoms experienced during the perimenopausal transition, the period leading up to menopause. Modulation aims to smooth the transition by addressing the fluctuating and declining levels of ovarian hormones, primarily estrogen and progesterone. Effective management is essential for preserving quality of life and preventing the downstream metabolic and bone health consequences of hormone withdrawal.
