The transition from peri-menopause to menopause can be very challenging for women. Changes that occur can be dismissed by conventional medicine leaving patients feeling unheard and lost.
Symptoms include hot flashes, weight gain, vaginal dryness, a predisposition to UTI, cardiovascular risk factors due to decreased estrogen, increased iron stores, hair loss, dry skin, some even begin to experience mood shifts, brain fog and anxiety.
The importance of being supported during this transition increases feelings of well-being and quality of life.
