Also referred to as menopause transition, perimenopause marks the start of menopause and is generally marked by a noticeable change in the menstrual cycle. Many of the most common menopausal symptoms emerge during perimenopause, and the severity of these symptoms tends to increase over time.
Perimenopause lasts on average four years, though its duration can be as short as a few months or as long as 10 years. While most women begin experiencing perimenopause in their 40s, its onset in some women can begin in their 30s or even earlier.
Exercise, diet, and general healthy living can help alleviate some perimenopause symptoms, but over time some women may feel overwhelmed by their impact on health and spirit. BHRT, with its consistent dose of hormones, can provide long-term relief from these symptoms. As a plant-based therapy, and one custom-tailored for each patient’s unique hormone level profile, Dr. B’s pellet therapy is perfect for those looking for natural relief that doesn’t disrupt the body’s normal hormonal functioning.
