The Real Deal on Perimenopause | July, 2010

Perimenopause is an umbrella term that describes the period before a woman enters menopause, and the long list of symptoms that occur during this transitional time. Medically speaking, perimenopause is typified by waning levels of the hormones progesterone and estrogen. Perimenopause or "early menopause" affects each woman differently, with severity ranging from mild to severe. Symptoms are similar those trademarked by menopause - hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue, weight gain, low libido and mood swings.

According to an article published by MSN Health, most women enter perimenopause between the ages 45 and 55, but some have experienced symptoms in their early 30's. The article also states that although there is no proven method of postponing menopause, studies have indicated a correlation between women who smoke and an increased risk of premature menopause.

Although women can't avoid "the change," there are ways for women to balance their hormones during perimenopause, menopause and beyond. The bioidentical hormone doctors at a BodyLogicMD help women achieve balance naturally with customized wellness programs. BodyLogicMD affiliated physicians have helped tens of thousands of women (and men too) regain balance and improve their overall quality of health through personalized nutrition and fitness regimens and bioidentical hormone therapy.
