Perimenopause Causes

Perimenopause is a natural part of aging. As women grow older, their production of the hormones estrogen (oestrogen) and progesterone decreases. This leads to a hormonal imbalance , which in turn leads to side effects. Once the body stops producing estrogen (oestrogen) entirely, menopause has begun.

The fluctuating hormones associated with perimenopause can't be avoided. Perimenopause typically begins in the 40s, but can occur earlier depending on certain factors. This is known as early menopause or early perimenopause. These factors include:

  • Hysterectomy
  • Oophorectomy
  • Certain cancer treatments
  • Smoking
  • Family history of early menopause

Perimenopause Symptoms

The most noticeable symptom of perimenopause is the irregularity and eventual cessation of the menstrual cycle. However, low estrogen (oestrogen) levels result in many other side effects. These problems are often synonymous with both perimenopause and menopause.

Common symptoms of perimenopause include:

  • Hot flashes (hot flushes)
  • Low libido
  • Vaginal dryness
  • Insomnia
  • Bone loss
  • Mood swings
  • Weight gain
  • Headaches
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Urinary incontinence

No two women experience perimenopause the same, and that includes symptoms. For some women, perimenopause may cause few problems. For others, it can make everyday life a difficult challenge.

Perimenopause Treatment

There is no cure for perimenopause, as it is a natural part of the life cycle. However, treatments exist to reduce and mitigate its symptoms. Treatment for perimenopause can begin with a hormone level test  to determine if estrogen (oestrogen) or progesterone levels are currently imbalanced. Treatments options believed to be effectinve in treating the symptoms of perimenopause include the following:

The treatments listed above seek to reduce perimenopause symptoms by rebalancing hormones such as estrogen (oestrogen) and progesterone. The hormones used in these methods can be delivered in many ways, including pills, patches, vaginal creams or pellets. The delivery methods vary in their use depending on the individual needs of the patient.

In some cases, healthcare professionals may choose to target specific symptoms of perimenopause instead. Other perimenopause treatments include:

  • Antidepressants
  • Lifestyle adjustments
  • Hot flash (hot flush) reducing medication
