Perimenopause is the transition phase leading up to menopause, and it can come with various symptoms such as irregular periods, hot flashes, mood changes, and sleep disturbances. To manage these symptoms, it’s important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D for bone health. Consider discussing options with your GP, such as hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or other treatments that may alleviate discomfort. Keeping a symptom diary can help you track changes and discuss them with your healthcare provider. Remember, you’re not alone in this journey, and support is available.
