Condition Overview

Perimenopause vs. Menopause

Perimenopause is the transitional period between a woman’s reproductive years and menopause. The average age for perimenopause to begin is around 40, but it can vary.

Hormone levels fluctuate during perimenopause, particularly estrogen and progesterone. This imbalance can cause unpleasant and unexpected symptoms, such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness.

These symptoms can vary from woman to woman. The severity of symptoms can also vary, some women experience only mild symptoms, while for others, the symptoms may be so severe that they interfere with daily life.

When your ovaries stop producing eggs, you are in menopause. This usually happens around age 51, but it can happen earlier or later.

Menopause is when a woman has not had a menstrual cycle for 12 consecutive months. It’s important to note that this isn’t a finite event, but a process, as you transition from perimenopause into menopause.

This transition is usually gradual. However, certain health factors can accelerate this, including:

Chronic health conditions like diabetes or insulin resistance
Smoking
Genetics
Obesity
Malnutrition
Serious illnesses like cancer, which can disrupt hormone production

Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, pregnenolone, DHEA, and thyroid levels can decline during menopause, which leads to a variety of symptoms.

Perimenopause & Menopause Symptoms Can Overlap

The symptoms you experience during this time of hormonal change can definitely overlap. This is particularly true as you get closer to your menstrual cycle stopping completely.

The most common symptoms include:

Hot flashes, night sweats
Fatigue
Sleep difficulties
Weight gain or trouble losing weight
Irritability, anxiety, and/or depression
Trouble concentrating
Irregular, heavier, or lighter periods
Inability to handle stress
Decreased muscle tone
Hair loss or changes in hair texture
Dry, sagging, or thinning skin
Thinning eyelashes and/or eyebrows
Memory issues and/or brain fog
Joint aches, inflammation
Acne
Vaginal atrophy (thinning, drying, inflammation)
Decreased libido
Painful intercourse
Osteopenia/osteoporosis

You can feel better during this time, as bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can help balance your hormones.

I am more than pleased that I’ve found Dr. Berutti! She is my personal physician as well as my anti-aging doctor. She is Board-Certified in both Internal Medicine as well as Anti-Aging Medicine. Plus, she is a DO which is very important to me. She understands and believes in a holistic approach to health. I first visited Dr. Berutti in November 2016. After a course of tests – bone density, extensive blood work, and breast exam, etc. she began my bio-identical hormone treatment in February 2017. In a matter of 3 weeks, I began to feel more energetic, happier and stronger. My skin and hair both got softer and healthier. I have absolutely no aches and pains and for the first time in years, I am enjoying being more active…desiring to work out! My husband is hoping to jump on the HRT bandwagon soon. He has seen the changes in me and will be visiting Dr. Berutti in July. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Berutti … she listens, she cares and most of all she delivers!

I have been a patient of Dr. Berutti's for about 9 months and I have most definitely improved my heath and quality of life since I first saw her as a patient and began her recommendations and medical guidance for Hormone Replacement Therapy. I find Dr. Berutti extremely thorough and very specialized in this area of medical treatment. She understands how to balance hormones throughout the body and she is not a doctor that prescribes a one size fits all treatment plan. It takes time to get everything back in balance and I would encourage anyone that seeks this type of treatment to be patient and follow her advise and recommendations. It takes time to get dosages correct and everything in balance. NO more hot flashes for me. My energy level is so much better. Everything is better. I hope that she will continue to be my "anti-aging hormone balance" doctor for many, many years to come. She is truly the best and I highly recommend her.

I just wanted to say hello and THANK YOU for all you have done for Ruth and me over the years. We are doing well and thanks to your help, support and kindness when we were at our lowest point and ready to give up. We were able to get through the roughest time in our lives in part to your help and support. You came to our aid and supported us when we were ready to throw in the towel. We sure miss you and hope you are doing well. As we enter the Thanksgiving season, I wanted to make sure I said THANK YOU to one of the kindest people I have ever met. You were always more than just a doctor, you are our caregiver, wizard of all things big and small and most of all a friend. I will never forget you and all that you did for us.

Excellent care!! Started with Dr. Berutti 2 years ago. Vast knowledge. Another doctor who attended medical school with her told me, “She is very smart, you can trust anything she tells you,” and indeed I do. I went to her depressed, lethargic (could hardly get out of bed), no energy, no stamina, feeling arthritic, failing memory, aggressive at times, and the list goes on & on. I live 100 miles away, so every appointment after the first was via telephone conference (very convenient.) Dr. Berutti is very personable, pays constant attention to details, sincerely interested in what she can do to give you a dynamic life! We started with an extensive and lengthy interview (1+ hours), followed by a barrage of tests near home (blood, saliva, mammo, pap, history questionnaire, bone density, etc.) Everything but fingerprints!! Now I feel and act much, much better. Hard to explain what it’s like to live joyously again.... My deepest Gratitude to Dr. Lyn Berutti.
