Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between perimenopause and menopause?
Perimenopause is the transition phase (often 4–10 years) of fluctuating hormones before periods stop. Menopause is the point of 12 consecutive months without a period. Symptoms overlap both phases.
Is hormone replacement therapy (HRT) safe?
For most healthy women under 60 within 10 years of menopause, the benefits of HRT generally outweigh the risks for moderate-to-severe symptoms (Source: The Menopause Society 2022 Position Statement). Individual risk depends on personal and family history; a clinician should review.
