What should you know?
Irregular cycles are common. Night sweats, vaginal dryness, palpitations or concentration difficulties may also occur, although other conditions can cause similar symptoms.
Practical steps
- Track periods and bleeding amounts.
- Prioritize sleep, movement and avoiding tobacco.
- Discuss benefits and risks of treatment options, including hormone therapy, with a clinician.
When to seek professional assessment
Very heavy or prolonged bleeding, bleeding between periods or any bleeding after menopause needs evaluation. Do not dismiss emergency symptoms as hormonal.
Frequently asked question
Can pregnancy still occur during perimenopause?
