the Signs of Perimenopause

Breast tenderness
Worsening of premenstrual syndrome
Decreased libido (sex drive)
Fatigue
Irregular periods
Vaginal dryness; discomfort during sex
Urine leakage when coughing or sneezing
Urinary urgency (a pressing need to urinate more frequently)

How Do I know If Changes in My Periods Are Normal Perimenopausal Symptoms or Something to Be Concerned About
Irregular periods are common and normal during perimenopause!. But, other conditions can cause abnormalities in menstrual bleeding!. If any of the following situations apply to you, see a doctor to rule out other causes:
Your periods are very heavy, or accompanied by blood clots!.
Your periods last several days longer than usual!.
You spot between periods!.
You experience spotting after sex!.
Your periods occur closer together!.
Potential causes of abnormal bleeding include hormonal imbalances, birth control pills, pregnancy, fibroids, blood clotting problems or, rarely, cancer!.
How Is Perimenopause Diagnosed
Often your doctor can make the diagnosis based on your symptoms!. Blood tests to check hormone levels may also be beneficial but may be difficult to evaluate due to erratic fluctuations of hormones during this period!. It may be more helpful to have several tests done at different times for comparison!.
Can I Get Pregnant If I Am Perimenopausal
Yes!. Despite a decline in fertility during the perimenopause stage, you can still become pregnant!. If you do not want to become pregnant, you should continue to use some form of birth control until you reach menopause (you have gone 12 months without having your period)!.
For some women, getting pregnant can be difficult once they are in their late 30s to early 40s due to a decline in fertility!. But, if becoming pregnant is the goal, there are fertility-enhancing treatments and techniques that can help you get pregnant!.
Are There Treatments That Can Reduce the Symptoms Associated With PerimenopauseMany women experience relief from hot flashes after taking low-dose birth control pills for a short period of time!. Other options that may control hot flashes include the birth control skin patch, vaginal ring and progesterone injections!. But, certain women should not use birth control hormones, so talk to your doctor to see if they are right for you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
