Women in perimenopause who are approaching menopause often experience hormone changes. After menopause, the ovaries stop producing estrogen and progesterone,(https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/004016.htm#:~:text=With%20menopause%3A,can%20no%20longer%20become%20pregnant.) which can create an imbalance. Fortunately, hormone replacement therapy is a highly effective solution for reducing problematic symptoms.
