Is it possible to experience hormone imbalance symptoms before menopause?

Yes. The body prepares for menopause, sometimes years in advance. This phase is called “perimenopause” which essentially means “around menopause.”

Perimenopausal symptoms are like the symptoms of menopause, but you’ll likely still experience regular periods and a natural menstrual cycle.

Even if you’re not in menopause, BHRT may be beneficial to manage the effects of perimenopause.

Younger women can also experience hormone deficiencies for many reasons. Underlying issues like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), thyroid and endocrine disorders, hysterectomies and cancer treatment, and certain medications can cause hormonal imbalances in women of all ages. For these women, BHRT may help them regain hormone balance and feel better.
