Irregular periods or unpredictable cycles
Vaginal dryness and discomfort
There are also other, lesser-known symptoms that iVisitDoc providers are trained to recognize and treat, including:
Mood changes, anxiety, or new-onset depression
Weight gain, especially around the midsection
Brain fog and trouble concentrating
Decreased libido (sex drive)
Thinning hair or hair loss
What to Expect During Perimenopause and Menopause
- Perimenopause is the transition phase leading up to menopause. It typically begins in your 40s but can start earlier. During this time, your body produces fluctuating levels of estrogen and progesterone, which can lead to irregular periods and a variety of symptoms.
- This stage can last 4 to 10 years.
- Menopause officially begins when you haven’t had a period for 12 consecutive months. The average age of menopause in the U.S. is 51.
- Hormonal changes during this time can cause both physical and emotional symptoms, including hot flashes, sleep issues, mood swings, and more.
- Treatments like menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) — also known as hormone replacement therapy (HRT) — and non-hormonal options are available to help manage symptoms and support your well-being.

About Menopause and Perimenopause
Should I take menopause hormones or not?
Hormone therapy can be an effective option for managing menopause symptoms like hot flashes, sleep issues, and vaginal dryness. However, it’s not right for everyone. An iVisitDoc provider can assess your medical history and help you decide whether hormonal or non-hormonal treatments are best for you.
What are some lesser known symptoms of menopause?
Beyond hot flashes and irregular periods, menopause can bring symptoms like brain fog, mood swings, joint pain, low libido, dry skin, and changes in body odor. Many women don’t realize these are hormone-related until they speak with a specialist.
What is early menopause?
Early menopause happens when menstruation stops before age 45, either naturally or due to surgery, chemotherapy, or other medical conditions. It can bring a higher risk for bone loss and heart disease, which makes timely evaluation and care important.
What are hot flashes?
Hot flashes are sudden waves of warmth, often with sweating and rapid heartbeat. They can last from seconds to minutes and may disrupt sleep when they happen at night (night sweats). They’re one of the most common symptoms of menopause.
What is genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM)?
GSM is a group of symptoms including vaginal dryness, irritation, painful sex, and urinary discomfort caused by reduced estrogen levels. Treatments include moisturizers, vaginal estrogen, or DHEA inserts—all of which can be discussed during your iVisitDoc visit.
