Perimenopause
Perimenopause is a natural stage of life, but it can begin earlier than many women expect. Hormonal changes during this time can affect your sleep, mood, energy, concentration and overall wellbeing, often while your periods are still regular and long before menopause itself.
At Arami Women's Health, we provide thoughtful, evidence-based care that considers the whole picture, helping you better understand your symptoms, explore your options and feel supported throughout this stage of life.
Common concerns addressed
Changes in your menstrual cycle
Hot flushes and night sweats

Anxiety, irritability or low mood

Weight changes

Vaginal dryness or discomfort
Your Treatment Options
Every woman's experience of perimenopause is different, so your care should be too.
Our approach combines evidence-based medicine with whole-person care, taking the time to understand your symptoms, lifestyle and overall health before exploring the options that are right for you.
Depending on your needs, this may include:
Lifestyle medicine and preventative care
Menopausal Hormone Therapy (MHT), where appropriate
Non-hormonal treatment options
Education to help you better understand the changes happening in your body
Referrals to trusted specialists or allied health professionals when additional support may be helpful
Appointments are available in person and via telehealth, offering flexible access to care wherever you are.
You do not have to wait until your symptoms become overwhelming. With the right support, perimenopause can become a time of greater understanding, confidence and long-term health.
Perimenopause FAQs

Yes. Perimenopause often begins in the early 40s, although some women experience symptoms earlier.
-
If changes to your sleep, mood, cycle, energy or wellbeing are affecting your daily life, it's worth having a conversation. You don't need to wait until symptoms become severe.
-
Not always. Blood tests may be useful in some situations, but they don't always provide a clear answer during perimenopause. Your symptoms, age and menstrual history are often more informative.
