This transition is called perimenopause and can last anywhere from 7 to 14 years. That\u2019s a hefty amount of time to deal with an array of symptoms that can pose inconvenience to one\u2019s personal and professional life, so it\u2019s important that you have the information and tools needed to navigate these changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-71170a14b57c398604ec3d7e25f93dbb wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\"><strong>Common Symptoms<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"font-size:15px\" class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-block-list wp-elements-8f1511d304440cf9359964e7a79b67d8\">\n<li><strong>Changes in Your Menstrual Cycle:<\/strong> During perimenopause, you are likely to see changes in the length and regularity of your period, in the level of pain you experience during your period, and in its flow.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"font-size:15px\" class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-block-list wp-elements-69d76c211b9bd0b3d2a510b961cb05f3\">\n<li><strong>Incontinence:<\/strong> You are also likely to experience changes in your bladder control, feeling the urge to urinate more frequently like when you exercise, sneeze, or laugh. You may also experience bladder infections.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"font-size:15px\" class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-block-list wp-elements-491ddb914cf2ece037726b64f3b576ac\">\n<li><strong>Hot Flashes:<\/strong> You may experience hot flashes as often as multiple times in an hour, or as little as once a week, and they can last anywhere from 30 seconds to 10 minutes. These sudden rises in feelings of heat can happen all over the body, or in just the upper areas, like your face and neck.&nbsp; Hot flashes can come with red blotches that may appear on your skin, and are often followed by heavy sweating or cold shivering. They can also occur at night, and wake you from your sleep.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"font-size:15px\" class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-block-list wp-elements-2bdfa1514279db3fbfdbfd3fe407d9c1\">\n<li><strong>Vaginal Health:<\/strong> You may also find that your vagina has become drier. This can lead to discomfort during sexual intercourse, as well as general discomfort throughout the day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"font-size:15px\" class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-block-list wp-elements-dc6f70fe34f6657faf3cf33ae4f40cfd\">\n<li><strong>Changes in Sexuality:<\/strong> During the transition to menopause, you may experience changes in your desire to have sex, including an increase or decrease in it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"font-size:15px\" class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-block-list wp-elements-75699baddb3dba8978c69eff6a92d141\">\n<li><strong>Mood Changes<\/strong>: Menopause can also pose a threat to your mental health, including an increase in anxiety and\/or depression.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"font-size:15px\" class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-block-list wp-elements-5eff8f8cd56fb7923b282c635d149dfc\">\n<li><strong>Body Changes: <\/strong>Everyone\u2019s weight changes as they age, but menopause also tends to lead to a decrease in muscle mass and an increase in fat.

There are also patch forms available. Your ovaries produce lower levels of the estrogen and progesterone hormones, and these therapies are used to help compensate for this decrease.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"font-size:15px\" class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-block-list wp-elements-f6701d25fb107b5d7ca0c83fadac2bdd\">\n<li><strong>Low-Dose Hormone Birth Control: <\/strong>These prescribed medications have also been known to lower hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and mood swings. However, individuals who smoke are advised not to take this treatment for menopause, due to a heightened risk of blood clots and high blood pressure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"font-size:15px\" class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-block-list wp-elements-1cbd9395fa92c5130750ab4335fbf35c\">\n<li><strong>Low-Dose Antidepressants:<\/strong> Some may use antidepressants to deal with mood changes during menopause, however they have also been prescribed to treat hot flashes. In the case of hot flashes, patients generally take a lower dosage than they would to treat anxiety or depression.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"font-size:15px\" class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-block-list wp-elements-ca360346beb36a6fde8fdb813c45daa3\">\n<li><strong>Vaginal Moisturizer:<\/strong> There are many over-the-counter products to help treat vaginal discomfort, dryness, and pain.
