Perimenopause and menopause in Gilbert, AZ

The change rarely arrives on schedule. Sleep goes first for some women, mood or cycles for others. Care here starts with your history and your labs, then a plan built around what you are actually feeling.

Understanding perimenopause and menopause

Perimenopause is the transition before menopause, when estrogen and progesterone begin to rise and fall unevenly. It often starts in a woman’s forties and can last several years.

Menopause itself is one point in time: twelve months without a period. Symptoms can begin long before it and continue well after.

Thyroid problems, low iron and poor sleep can look much the same. That is why we test before we treat.

Common signs

Every woman’s pattern is different. Most notice a few of these, rarely all.

  • Hot flashes and night sweats
  • Irregular, heavier or lighter periods
  • Trouble falling or staying asleep
  • Mood changes, anxiety or irritability
  • Brain fog and forgetfulness
  • Low libido
  • Vaginal dryness or discomfort
  • Weight gain around the middle
  • Joint aches and fatigue
  • Thinning hair or drier skin
