Perimenopause is the transitional period leading up to menopause, during which hormone levels begin to fluctuate. This stage can last several years and is when many women first experience symptoms like hot flashes and irregular cycles. Menopause is officially diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period. Post-menopause refers to the years that follow.
The safety and appropriateness of HRT depends on many individual factors, including your personal and family medical history. Dr. Burke will thoroughly review your history and discuss the benefits and risks specific to your situation. For more information, check out this article.
