Expert Perimenopause Treatment
Your Guide to Navigating the Change with Dr. Sonia Dudeja
Welcome to Perimenopause: Your Expert Guide Through the Transition
Aha! So, you’ve entered the realm learned as perimenopause. It can feel like navigating unknown territory, where mysterious new signs like hot flushes, anxiety, and brain fog have suddenly appeared. If you’re in your late 30s or 40s and find yourself wrestling with unpredictable periods, mood shifts, and disturbed sleep, you are not alone. What you’re experiencing is very real, and at MyMenopauseSupport.org, Dr. Sonia Dudeja is here to bring clarity and solutions to this new chapter.
Perimenopause is the critical growth leading up to menopause, and it’s triggered by the natural ebb and flow of your hormones, especially estrogen. This hormonal rollercoaster can throw everything from your body temperature to your mood off-balance, leaving you feeling unlike yourself. But here’s the crucial point: you do not have to simply “ride it out.” Early, expert-led action can make a world of difference. Dr. Dudeja specialises in decoding this difficult stage, providing evidence-based solutions to help you feel vibrant, in control, and empowered once again.
Decoding Perimenopause
The 'Why' Behind the Symptoms
Understanding your symptoms is the first step toward handling them. Perimenopause is defined by hormonal fluctuations, which can manifest in numerous ways. Here are some of the most common signs Dr. Dudeja treats:
Irregular Periods
This is the hallmark of perimenopause. Your cycle might become longer or shorter, and your flow heavier or lighter. If you notice a persistent change of seven days or more in your cycle length, you are likely in early perimenopause.
Hot Flushes & Night Sweats
Affecting up to 80% of women, these sudden, intense waves of heat can be accompanied by secreting and anxiety, significantly disrupting your day and your sleep
Anxiety, Irritability & Mood Swings
Feeling more anxious, irritable, or emotionally volatile is incredibly common. These mood changes are often a direct result of hormonal shifts and sleep disruption
Profound Disturbances & Insomnia
Difficulty failing or staying asleep is a frequent complaint, often linked to night sweats but sometimes occurring on its own. This can lead to persistent fatigue and low energy.
Brain Fog & Cognitive Changes
Many women report issues with memory, focus, and finding the right words. This frustrating "brain fog" is a recognized symptom of the hormonal changes during this time.
Vaginal Dryness & Low Libido
Declining estrogen can lead to vaginal dryness, making intercourse uncomfortable and affecting your sex drive.
Weight Gain & Joint Pain
A slowing metabolism can make weight managing more challenging, while hormonal shifts can contribute to new or worsening joint and muscle aches.
