Perimenopause

You're not imagining it. It could be perimenopause.

Perimenopause can begin years before menopause, and its symptoms are often dismissed. We help you understand and take back control.

What Is Perimenopause?

The transition that no one prepares you for.

Perimenopause is the phase leading up to menopause, it can begin in your late 30s or early 40s. During this time, hormones fluctuate unpredictably, causing symptoms many women don’t associate with hormonal change.

Too often, women are told they’re ‘too young for menopause.’ At Dr Care Connect, we take perimenopause seriously.

  • Fatigue that doesn't improve with rest
  • Hot flushes or night sweats starting for the first time
  • Weight gain, particularly around the middle
