Do you know what the average age for the onset of menopause is?
Consult your doctor if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, since perimenopause might not be the cause:Spotting between periodsWith approaching menopause, a woman’s menstrual periods may change. They may get shorter or longer, lighter, or heavier. The interval between periods may increase or decrease. During perimenopause, it is common for women to have a period after going several months without one. It can take years of irregular periods before a woman reaches menopause.
Another effect of hormonal changes is a change in libido, or sex drive. This may improve or worsen, but it is important to remember that other factors besides menopause can affect libido. Stress, sleep disturbances, medications, and anxiety can all affect sex drive. Your doctor can help you find ways to manage the changes in your sex drive if they occur.
Finally, although fertility ends at menopause, women of all ages are still susceptible to STDs, so safe sex is still important.Hormone therapy is a menopause treatment option that can help alleviate many troublesome symptoms for some women. Low-dose oral contraceptive pills are one option for perimenopausal women to help treat irregular vaginal bleeding and relieve hot flashes.
Examples of local vaginal hormone treatments include the vaginal estrogen ring, vaginal estrogen cream, or vaginal estrogen tablets . Antidepressants have also been used to treat hot flashes associated with menopause. Other potential treatments that can help relieve symptoms include blood pressure medications, anti-seizure medications, and lifestyle modifications. Hormone therapy is not without its own risks, your doctor can help you weigh the risks and benefits of this treatment.
