Menopause & Perimenopause Care
Support through change.
Menopause and perimenopause can feel confusing - many people aren’t sure what to expect or how their bodies may change.
Beyond day-to-day symptoms, hormonal changes during menopause can also impact long-term health, including cardiovascular health, bone health (osteoporosis), and cognitive health. Understanding these changes is an important part of staying healthy over time.
Common Symptoms
Hormonal changes during this time can cause a wide range of symptoms, including:
-
Changes in menstrual cycles
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Sleep disruption
- Weight changes
- Brain fog
- Anxiety or depression
- Joint pain and migraines
- Vaginal dryness and urinary symptoms
- Changes in libido, skin, and hair
Symptoms can be intermittent, unpredictable, and different for everyone. Some people experience only a few mild symptoms, while others may have more persistent or long-lasting changes.
