What are the treatments for perimenopause?

What are the treatments for perimenopause? Women will enter menopause when they reach their forties or fifties, which is also called menopause. What is perimenopause? How is it different from menopause? The so-called menopause means that women will no longer have menstruation, that is, women will no longer produce eggs and will no longer be able to give birth. This is a typical manifestation of menopause. Of course, there are other symptoms of menopause. I will introduce them to you in detail below.

Perimenopausal syndrome, also known as menopausal syndrome (MPS), refers to a group of syndromes characterized by autonomic nervous system dysfunction and accompanied by neuropsychological symptoms caused by fluctuations or decreases in sex hormones before and after menopause in women. Menopause can be divided into natural menopause and artificial menopause. Natural menopause refers to the exhaustion of ovarian follicles, or the remaining follicles lose their response to gonadotropins. The follicles no longer develop and secrete estrogen, and cannot stimulate the growth of the endometrium, leading to menopause. Artificial menopause refers to surgical removal of both ovaries or other methods of stopping ovarian function, such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy. For those who have their uterus removed alone but retain one or both ovaries, it is not considered artificial menopause. The determination of menopause is mainly based on clinical manifestations and hormone measurements. People who have undergone artificial menopause are more likely to develop this syndrome. The early or late age of menopause is related to the number of follicle reserves, follicle consumption, nutrition, region, environment, smoking and other factors, but has nothing to do with factors such as education level, body shape, age of menarche, number of pregnancies, age of last pregnancy, long-term use of contraceptives and other factors. Using contraceptives to suppress ovulation cannot delay menopause because the consumption of eggs does not mainly depend on ovulation, and a large number of follicles disappear through atresia.

Menopause is a long period of time when women transition from their reproductive and sexually mature period to old age. In 1994, the World Health Organization recommended the use of "perimenopause", which includes the beginning of clinical, endocrine and biological signs of menopausal trends (around 40 years old) and lasts until one year after the last menstruation. After entering the perimenopause period, menopause-related symptoms will appear, mainly including: hot flashes, night sweats, irritability, insomnia, depression, etc. This is mainly because after entering the perimenopause period, women's ovarian function begins to decline, and estrogen and progesterone levels in the body begin to fluctuate and decline. When the ovarian function is completely lost and estrogen and progesterone levels drop to a certain level, menopause will occur. Due to estrogen deficiency during menopause, there are four main short-term symptoms: menstrual disorders; vasodilation, manifested as hot flashes, night sweats, etc.; mental symptoms, manifested as sleep disorders, irritability, depression, etc.; aging symptoms, manifested as loose and wrinkled skin, etc. Most women experience at least one typical menopause-related symptom. Some people feel that these symptoms will pass quickly and do not require treatment. In fact, in addition to short-term harm, the lack of estrogen during menopause will also bring long-term harm, seriously affecting women's health and quality of life, such as: osteoporosis symptoms: low back pain, easy fractures, etc.; urinary and reproductive system symptoms: urgency and pain in urination, vaginitis, etc.; cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases: coronary heart disease, stroke, etc.
