Perimenopause and Menopause Pathway

Review your treatment and management options

If your perimenopause or menopause symptoms are affecting your quality of life and your ability to do the activities you enjoy, there are options that can help.

Your treatment choices and the recommendations for how to manage your symptoms will depend on your symptoms, your goals, and other health issues you are experiencing. To make the best decisions for your health, discuss all treatment options with your healthcare provider.

Recommendations may include:

lifestyle changes, like being more active and eating a variety of healthy foods
managing specific symptoms, like hot flashes and night sweats, vaginal dryness, changes to urination (peeing), and sexual symptoms
using medicines to help with symptoms, including menopause hormone therapy and non-hormonal prescription medicines
