Signs of Menopause and Perimenopause

Millions of women in the United States are suffering from hormonal imbalance, whether it is early menopause, perimenopause symptoms, perimenopause weight gain, adrenal fatigue, menopause, or premenstrual symptoms (PMS).  In many cases, bioidentical hormone therapy is the solution.

The signs of menopause and related hormonal issues include:

  • Weight gain
  • Hot flashes and night sweats
  • Mood swings
  • Depression
  • Low sex drive
  • Insomnia or trouble sleeping
  • Adrenal Fatigue
  • Memory loss or foggy memory
  • Uterine fibroids
  • Endometriosis
  • PMS (worsening Premenstrual Syndrome)
  • Vaginal dryness

Hot flashes, night sweats, trouble sleeping and weight gain are the most common symptoms of hormonal imbalance as a woman ages. Perimenopause weight gain is often times misdiagnosed and is one of the first signs of hormonal imbalance. These signs and related conditions are also connected to your stress levels, poor nutrition, lack of exercise and the environmental toxins your body is exposed to on a daily basis.

Hormonal imbalances are also the root of many chronic health problems and can increase your risk of serious disease. In women, the symptoms often first appear in perimenopause or menopause, when estrogen, progesterone and testosterone production begins to diminish.

The good news is that hormone loss and imbalance is correctible. Through the use of bioidentical hormones, women can not only be relieved of the symptoms, but also effectively protect themselves against osteoporosis and heart disease. And through supervised treatment, natural hormones can make women feel healthier and younger than they have in years.
