Perimenopause begins several years before menopause and is often marked by irregular cycles and hormonal variability.
Unlike menopause, which is defined by 12 consecutive months without a period, perimenopause is a phase where estrogen and progesterone levels rise and fall unpredictably. Because of this unpredictability, symptoms linked to perimenopause can feel inconsistent or difficult to track.
Our perimenopause treatments near Keller are centered on managing this transitional phase leading into menopause, when hormonal levels fluctuate, but menstrual cycles have not fully stopped. A functional medicine approach enables our providers to identify potential patterns within these changes, allowing for more targeted and effective treatment strategies.
