Perimenopause: WTF is happening to me?

What is actually happening to your body during perimenopause? Drs. Ashley Fuller and Meredith McClure are joined by women’s health expert Dr. Jaclyn Piasta to explain perimenopause symptoms, hormone changes, testing, and treatment options. They discuss irregular or even regular periods, brain fog, mood and sleep changes, libido, painful sex, vaginal symptoms, bleeding, and the mental load of midlife. They also break down options including birth control, IUDs, menopausal hormone therapy, vaginal estrogen, and testosterone, and explain why perimenopause is often a clinical diagnosis rather than something that can be confirmed with a single hormone test.
