During perimenopause and menopause, your estrogen levels decline, resulting in a range of symptoms that can disrupt your life. While symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats seem to be well known, cognitive and sexual symptoms such as brain fog, fatigue, and low libido can be just as disruptive.
If the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause are disrupting your life, you don’t just have to take it - you can make changes that improve your quality of life. Diet, exercise, and other lifestyle changes can reduce the symptoms and complications of menopause.
If you’re over the age of 40 and you have trouble falling asleep or can’t seem to get a good night’s sleep, it could be one of the symptoms of perimenopause. Sleep disturbances are a common part of the transition leading to menopause, and you may experience them even before your periods start changing.
One of the frustrating parts of getting older is maintaining a healthy weight, and this can be especially challenging for women going through perimenopause. While it’s natural to gain a few pounds, with 60 to 70% of women gaining weight in perimenopause, it’s also important to support your overall health.
If you’ve started to experience the symptoms of perimenopause, you may be wondering - how long will this last? Unfortunately, there’s no easy answer to this question, and your experience could be very different from someone else’s.
Crying easily, low self-esteem, feeling numb, and losing interest in your normal activities can all be symptoms of mood changes during the transition to menopause. Nearly half of women going through perimenopause may experience symptoms similar to PMS.
