What this care involves
Perimenopause is the transition leading to menopause. Changes in bleeding patterns, hot flushes, sleep disturbance and vaginal discomfort can occur, though symptoms vary.
When to seek a consultation
Speak with a clinician if symptoms affect daily life or if periods stop unusually early. Seek a prompt assessment for bleeding after menopause, even if it occurs only once.
What an assessment may include
The clinician may ask about periods, symptoms, medicines, personal and family history and any bleeding changes. Tests may be considered if the symptoms or age make the cause unclear.
Options and next steps
Management can include practical support, non-hormonal options or discussion of hormone therapy. Benefits and risks depend on your health history.
Common question
Does everyone need hormone therapy?
No. It is one option. The right approach depends on symptoms, preferences and whether it is suitable for you.
