Perimenopause treatment encompasses clinical and lifestyle interventions designed to manage the fluctuating and often disruptive symptoms experienced during the transitional phase leading up to menopause, which is characterized by irregular menstrual cycles and declining ovarian function. Treatment strategies aim to stabilize hormonal fluctuations, alleviate symptoms such as hot flashes, mood changes, and sleep disturbances, and preserve long-term health, including bone and cardiovascular integrity. A personalized approach that addresses the unique hormonal signature of each woman is paramount.
Origin
The term combines ‘perimenopause,’ from the Greek peri (around) and pausis (cessation), referring to the time period surrounding the final menstrual period, with ‘treatment,’ denoting the application of therapeutic measures. This clinical focus acknowledges the significant health impact of this multi-year transition.
Mechanism
Treatment often involves low-dose hormonal therapies, such as customized bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), to smooth out the erratic decline in estrogen and progesterone levels. Non-hormonal options, including specific nutritional supplements and lifestyle modifications, are also utilized to modulate the neuroendocrine and metabolic pathways affected by these hormonal shifts. The goal is symptom resolution and physiological stabilization.
