As women reach their 30s and 40s, hormone levels begin dropping at a rate of about 1 percent per month. Before menopause, certain changes in the body may occur, including:
- Depression
- Lack of energy
- Irregular periods
- Mood swings
- Vaginal dryness
- Hair loss
- Decreased sex drive
- Painful intercourse
- Hot flashes
- Night sweats
- Inability to concentrate
- Loss of bone density
- Sleep issues
Fortunately, the symptoms of pre-menopause and perimenopause can be treated by replacing diminishing hormones.
These steroid-free hormones are said to be more effective and less risky than synthetic hormones and can be more precisely delivered to the system than creams.
