Depending on the individual, hormone therapy may help address symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, vaginal symptoms, and other changes associated with declining or fluctuating hormones. Your provider will discuss which symptoms may be appropriate to address with hormone therapy and whether other treatments may be beneficial. 

Yes. Perimenopause often begins while you are still having regular or somewhat regular periods. Changes in cycle length or flow can be an early sign, but symptoms can occur even before noticeable menstrual changes. If you’re experiencing symptoms that make you feel unlike yourself, a perimenopause consultation can help you understand what’s happening and explore your options.

Your provider will evaluate your individual needs and, when appropriate, provide orders for the necessary laboratory testing to help guide your personalized hormone care plan.
