Perimenopause is the journey that takes all women to their menopause. It is naturally experienced by women usually in their 40s onward. But some women will experience symptoms even earlier, in their 30s. If you feel mood changes, headaches, hot flushes, low libido, and are having trouble concentrating or with your memory, this could be signs of your perimenopause.
During this natural process, your ovaries will gradually slow down their function as you gently move away from the most fertile stage in your life. This transitional phase continues until your menstrual bleed does not take place for a complete year. When you have no longer had a menstrual bleed for a whole year then it is considered that you have reached your menopause. This is a completely natural process and an important transition which all women will go through.
Both perimenopause and menopause can be behind a host of physical and emotional symptoms. Homeopathic remedies ease and support your signs of perimenopause and menopause. Some women may experience profound disruption, while others may steer through this important transition stage with very few disturbances. Homeopathic treatment can support your perimenopause and menopause journey and your symptoms in many ways.
Symptoms include irregular periods and / or a heavier flow. Physical signs of perimenopause can also include hot flushes, hormonal headaches, sleep problems, issues around memory and concentration (also known as brain fog) vaginal dryness, bladder problems and changes in libido. Emotional signs can include mood swings including anxiety.
Homeopathy for Perimenopause
Homeopathy is an incredibly useful tool to support you and treat the signs and symptoms of both the perimenopause and menopause. Homeopathy addresses the root cause and can help you by supporting and balancing your hormones and helping to minimise your symptoms. Homeopathy offers you a natural approach to your health and your perimenopause symptoms.
Signs of Perimenopause
The most obvious sign that your Perimenopause is starting is a persistent change of seven days or more in the length of your menstrual cycle. Other signs can be mood changes, hot flushes, sleep problems, decreasing fertility and much more. You might feel irritable, have low energy or have a hard time concentrating. These symptoms may occur for years with no pattern. Most of the time, Perimenopause will start around the ages forty to forty-four.
The usual seven stages of Perimenopause are these:
- Fatigue
- Weight gain
- Brain fog
- Aches and pains
- Hot flushes/night sweats
- Anxiety/insomnia
- Vaginal dryness

Perimenopause in early 30’s
Women experience perimenopause at a range of different ages. If you get Perimenopause between the ages of thirty – thirty-nine, it is considered a premature menopause. This is more likely to occur if you started your period early (before the age of eight usually), have never given birth or, you smoke, or are underweight. However it can also be brought on from treatments for other conditions, such as radiotherapy or chemotherapy, certain hormone medicines, or surgery to remove your ovaries. Overall, the first signs of perimenopause are unpredictable menstrual cycles and other symptoms. (Sources: NHS website)
