That so many women deal with perimenopause symptoms while not knowing those symptoms are part of a single process has led to calls for education on the issue.

The article from WTOP discusses the increasing attention being given to perimenopause, the transitional phase before menopause where women experience a variety of symptoms due to hormonal fluctuations. It highlights how perimenopause can start in a woman's 30s or 40s and includes symptoms like irregular periods, hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances. The piece notes a cultural shift where perimenopause is now more openly discussed, thanks to celebrities and public figures sharing their experiences, which helps destigmatize the topic. It also mentions the importance of recognizing these symptoms early for better management, as well as the need for more research and education about perimenopause. The article underscores the variability of symptoms among women, advocating for personalized medical approaches and the potential benefits of hormone therapy, lifestyle changes, and alternative treatments.
