In this episode, Victoria discusses perimenopause and its signs and symptoms. Perimenopause is the phase leading up to menopause, characterized by irregular menstrual cycles and declining ovarian function. The duration of perimenopause varies from woman to woman, ranging from a few months to a decade. The most common symptom of perimenopause is hot flashes, which can be triggered by various factors. Other symptoms include vaginal dryness, heavy bleeding, sleep disturbances, mood swings, and memory problems. Victoria also explores complementary therapies for managing perimenopause, such as nutrition, exercise, stress management, and hormone therapy.
