- By age 50, most women have reached menopause: a stage of life marked by changes in the body caused by hormonal shifts. But it doesn't happen overnight. The transitional period is called perimenopause. (May 17, 2023)
So much needs to be discussed, it’s NOT JUST HOT FLASHES. There’s severe anxiety, chest pain, arm pain etc… and most drs do not understand hrt, but are reeeeal happy to give you antidepressants.
Do u have arm pain or armpit pain?
thanks for this, it hurts so bad
I've looked at so many doctor videos on RUclips about pre menopause symptoms not one mentions the debilitating symptoms of dizziness and disorientation and vision problems - I've been keeping track of my cycle for 2 years and I always get them about a week before menstruation. it is so scary to go through it. this is making me feel like I'm going nuts. it is so disappointing that all these medical professionals talk about the generic hot flashes, mood swings, depression. it's 2024, for heaven's sake! you must have more to give to women who are suffering these debilitating symptoms :(((((((
Ok...I didn't even pair the vision problems and peri menopause together! About a week before my cycle I've been having blurred vision and these like flecks in my peripheral vision and when I look to the side they're gone. I can't believe someone commented this. I thought I was going crazy!! Went to an eye doctor and I'm in tip top shape with my vision as well! Thank you for making my anxiety way less now :) I'm 41 and I still feel young but it just feels like my body is falling apart!
@@elena95355 yes, I get those too :( you are not crazy! we are not crazy! but we are neglected! :(
Yes, I have been seeing stars and having dizzy spells but I also have been having balance issues, its definitely more than clumsiness, im 44 and I agree, mentally I do not feel old enough to go through this but my body is laughing at me saying, bi**h u gettin old lol..
@@Country_girl2 😆
@@Country_girl2 I’m 48 and going thru the same thing. Had me worried thinking it’s something else.
Loss of libido, loss of desire for affection, mood swings, hot flashes, night sweats, dry / itchy skin, pelvic pain, irritability, touch avoidant, weight gain, anxiety, depression, self image issues, etc....
I have ALL of those things...
@@kristinastanford8317 It is a challenge and a difficult time, I recommend seeking out a NAMS certified specialist for support and direction.
And if you’re unfortunate to have one of those partners who hate when you struggle ~basically start of the end of your marriage 😢
@@livkind3522 Doesn't help when ALL physical intimacy is withdrawn and withheld either. Nothing says I love you like forced celibacy with zero affection for years...
Thank you
It's so fun being a woman. Lol
10/10 do not recommend.
Men don’t understand what we go through! It sucks! Lol
Glad perimenopause and menopause discussions are being spoken more openly! It's something every women should keep a pulse on starting in their 30s. I noticed a sudden drop in motivationat age 40 so I've put on weight from stopping exercise completely. Cannot for the life of me get back on the horse, so to speak. I used to work out 5 days a week. Found Dr. Marie Claire Haver recently, been reading and watching her stuff, and started the Galveston diet. Just 1 week into taking anti-inflammatory supplements and a diet change, and I can see aging reverse and feel my mental health improve.
I am 44 will be 45 in August and I have been having hot flashes and horrible night sweats and crying for no reason and it started all the sudden like 3 weeks ago. I'm so glad I found found these videos to help explain what I already figured is going on with me. I just started taking black cohosh to help regulate hot flashes and it seems to help, I hope it will help with the night sweats so I can sleep better, its crazy I don't feel old enough to go through this but my body reminds me every day that it's getting older lol.
Could you explain how to maintain a job at the same time?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 yes!
Yes😅😅
This!!! Lol
Love Dr. Walsh!!! She used to be my OBGYN many years ago - best Dr. ever!!! Great video!
I am 46, my mom was killed when I was 4. I have nobody to ask questions of. THIS IS EXACTLY what Ive been enduring since turning 45!! I had NO IDEA ❤❤ thank you
My mom never ever spoke of her menopause symptoms. Hopefully women will start openly talking more
I think it's so much more talked about and more uderstood
Same! I turned 45 and felt this things right away😢
@@islandgirllove9114 I swear my Doc is about 16... lol. What did you do to help your state of well being? I have learned 2 main things so far, hot "flashes" are constant, not flashes, and this is psychological warfare within myself!
@@coraleahs so far i have done nothing but complain LOL will see my Gyno soon.. Lolllllll abouy your Dr's age!
Wild that we are talking about this like it’s new. It’s been going on since the beginning but just goes to show that women need way more/better medical research which has clearly been neglected.
I’m 33, last year my cycle came and stayed for 7 months. There were like 15 days where I wasn’t bleeding. My gyn was concerned but all testing came back negative. Got hot flashes, mood swings, and other changes. Now my cycle is on/off. Can’t say for certain this is peri, but also can’t think of anything else it could be. All I know is it’s taking a toll on me both mentally and physically.
Yes
I'm 40 and it started for me fully last year at 39, the symptoms are not pleasant, doc says it's menapause I had my period the next month my periods are a rollercoaster and so are the symptoms smh , I take a new med to help with some of the symptoms, but I'm premenopausal, you are not alone in this , it will and can get better the question is when
I’m also 33 and I’ve had the night sweats on and off since I was 30 🙈 my doctor wouldn’t even test me at all but it’s interesting that you say it didn’t show up in tests. Maybe mine wouldn’t either. 🙈🙈🙈 I’ve got dry skin and the mood swings and my cycle is changing, I can get it twice in a month being around other women and now this month it was barely even there and only lasted 3 days 🙈
We need so much more education and testing on this subject
What about awful headaches? Joint pain? Fatigue? Cravings? Weight gain? Those are my mine!
looking back now, I started perimenopause at 36. now going on 40, these symptoms are just gearing up. How wonderful🫠
Im having it at 43 it’s terrible
I'm a husband and father married for nearly 25 years, I believe my wife has started this, her periods have be erratic mood swings etc, however what is effecting us most she struggles to even make eye contact or even go out for our coffee, she doesn't want to talk about it, have you got any advice for me to help her and help get the connection back, I miss her shes my best friend. ?
I’m thinking of you, and wanted you to know our not alone. I’m 42 and I’m neck deep in it too, It’s horrible.
@@paulmuaddib3470 Won't make eye contact? She might be ashamed about something, maybe because she knows she is acting unloving to you (and others). She's probably being eaten up by guilt.
I don't know. She needs to know that she's not going insane and that you aren't going to abandon her. That's sweet to mention she's your best friend. Maybe give her a card saying something to the effect of, "You're my best friend. I believe in you and hope you have a beautiful day!" Don't say ANYTHING like, "I love you even though you are always moody." In fact, I wouldn't even let her know you can tell she's struggling. May the only thing she thinks is, "This man thinks I'm queen of the world and that we are a perfect fit!" Once her self esteem has been boosted long enough, she might soften up and share her heart with you and lay it all out.
@@rosezimmerman3821 bless you and thank you x
Why is abdominal pain and constipation frequent with piermenopause? Makes me think I have colon cancer or stomach cancer 😢
Go to the dr I’m praying for you
I have tummy pain too and back pain very achy I think it's all part of it
I have abdominal cramps, constipation, (very heavy period which my periods use to be normal) lower back pain that's also shooting down my legs and passing blood clots which is my first time passing clots like this. Went to the ER and they said I have a 8.5 CM fibroid on my uterus 😭 have ur GYN check ur uterus for fibroids hun. Hope you feel better 🙏🏻🩷
I do believe alot of our problems are our diets, bad habits, the company we keep lifestyle change is very important not just the outside but the inside of us im going to start fasting and get myself together vecause tgis isnt fun at all
Can’t wait for menopause I’m soo over having a period.
It comes with an entire new set of discomforts and inconveniences. It’s not great.
I used to say that now I wish I never. It can reck you. It did for me but everyone is different.
I prefer periods. It is nothinggg compared to this
@@GW-gz8jh It depends. If you are lucky or not. Roulette.
40yo here. Tubal at 27 and starting seeing changes in my cycle in 2013. Here are my symptoms right now that turn up when I’m ovulating or about to be visited by Flo:
Hot flashes
Cold flashes
Lower back ache
Neck ache
Nausea after eating
Electric shocks in head followed by hot flash
Night sweats
Insomnia
Heartburn
Vertigo (this one is bad)
Burping
Hope this helps y’all! I won’t do HRT because perimenopause is natural and I don’t want to put anything synthetic in my body that may confuse it. The silver lining is that, for me at least, these symptoms aren’t all at once and only for a few days a month.
If one has similar situation (age 38) can they try to get pregnant or that is very risky?
@@SriSri-fo2je I am not a doctor, but I’d imagine if you’re going through these symptoms, your reproductive window is small.
@@SriSri-fo2je it may not be possible to conceive naturally if you're going through this.
Something isn’t bad just because not “natural.” Heart attacks are natural. Death is natural. HRT for many people can potentially extend their lifespan and decrease risks for things such as cardiovascular disease in women.
@@GW-gz8jh I didn’t chastise anybody using HRT, I just said I won’t. That’s a personal choice. Perimenopause symptoms are survivable, many women went through it before HRT was even a thing. Botulism can happen naturally from wound or food contamination, but I wouldn’t put Botox in my face even if it does have FDA approval.
I'm in my early 40s and not sure if I have perimenopause. For a while my periods shortened by a lot, then went back to normal. Now I'm waking with night sweats and during the day I get dizzy real quick and that's just sitting down. It feels like low blood sugar and it just hits me. Right now I'm unable to get out of bed because I feel so weak like I haven't ate & this just hit me. I don't normally have this issue
Idk if thats premenopause or not
I used to have heavy bleeding and my periods stopped for months. Like had casual spotting here and there for about 8 months.
Then my period started again heavy bleeding for few months.
Checked with gynaecologist she found mass in my uterus thru internal scan
Got my biopsy done and tests were clear it was really small fibroid
Then she prescribed hormonal medicine
And I got normal periods for next 2 months. Last I got them were in December and now they stopped completely again.
Idk if i’m in menopause or premenopause
How should I treat that
Is that normal or not
My system doesn't know whether it wants to be Golden Girls or Carrie 🤷🏿♀️
This just sounds like my everyday life since forever
by 2024 am 50🥰I dont know why am so excited bout it…the symtoms not yet there at the moment😬
I don’t go to a gyn…never have so I’ll research this on my own. I don’t trust doctors.
Gen X was not fully prepared for this! My Mom didn’t discuss it! We have got to stay on top of our doctors because a lot of them are still stuck in the dark ages we need HRT!!!
I'm 40. I'll add anxiety to her list of symptoms. This stinks.
Low minerlas and the low progesterone etc cause increased anxiety but it’s a mineral deficiency not a medication deficiency. Drink nettle infusions we are often low in the calming minerals and we need minerals for hormones too
Itchy skin, dizziness, moods
I'm so sick of everything needing to be medicalized. It's a natural transition and does not need to be medicalized. We don't need antidepressants and we don't need a doctor to let us know if we're ok because the truth is, doctors are always going to find something or offer something. So much idolatry of medicine. We're just going through a physical change for which God has accounted.
@@Renee1983 Of course there is shame in that. It's lazy and unaccountable. You can say whatever you want. Doesn't make it true.
God ain’t saving me from this misery! Can’t just pray perimenopause away either, so please keep your religious bs to yourself. Sincerely, someone living in reality ☮️
men dont know how easy they have it :D
I am 50 yrs old and definitely am going through so many moods and anxiety is up. I cry suddenly after little pety moments with my husband. I feel bad because I shut down and feel alone in it. He hears me say give me a second...but then it's like he doesn't truly get it. Yet we are talking it through. The flashes, numbness in body and thoughts coming through correctly. It's weird. Dry skin...
Smh thx for this I'm not alone
Me too,I I turned 50 in september but iv been experiencing some of these symptoms for over a year now,my mood is horrendous and I can jus flip over small things,I have a 13 year old teen boy and it's a nightmare in my house,teenage boy and menopauseal mum does not go down well
@@palmaviolets4614 this is tough, can you mention the solutions you tried from the doctor or home remedies and how did it go?
@@jr.6199 well I have just recently gone onto HRT patches it's hard to say if they are taking effect as of yet but other than that I haven't tried anything else,I have only been on a few weeks so far
I'm 48 and I have night sweats and Sudden Heart Palpitations before my menstrual comes on.
I've been going through this for a couple of years now.
My 40s have been crazy 😢
I just can't wait until this menstruation stops completely.
I'm over it 😭
I don't know if anyone else has gone through these problems or is my body just crazy 😂
It's crazy alright it started when I was 39 I'm 40 and the symptoms are terrible and the periods are rollercoaster, I take a new med for sleep and anxiety and depression it helps some , but this period this month like vanished I bled heavy for three months been also low on iron because of these periods, hormones all over the place I can't wait till this is all done with
By me reading some of the comments on here some of you need to get checked for fibroids. You might have them if you are in your 30s or even 40s. Get an MRI its the best thing to do to see if you have fibroids or most of you are hitting premenopause. FIBROIDS are not talked about very often.
43 and currently being on cycle 🔃 for over 2 months stoping one day bleeding 🩸 heavily for days the next stops and starts all over again
Same
I’m 48 and I just found this out???
And Joint pain !
amazed how often this isn't focused on considering it's supposed to affect 80% going through it
Does anyone else have moderate, constant lower abdominal cramps??
Yes, pain in bladder and back
Feels like period pains for 2 years but no periods
I came here to find out if this is normal. I started normal period bleeding for a day, then last night at around 4 am woke up with horrific cramping. I use a menstrual cup that before last month had completely taken away all cramps for years. It was great. Then last month even though I was using it, it was still a bit painful. I had it in yesterday and last night when the cramping woke me up. I got up to go to the bathroom and take some Ibuprofen. I checked it and not a single drop of blood to be seen at all. As bad as the cramps were I expected there to be at least some. Still today no blood but cramping is bad. I am still taking ibuprofen and acetaminophen to help with the constant cramps. 😢
I am 46 and noticed my periods have been wonky for about a year , sometimes i am very regular then i will go like 2 months without a period , like off and on and noticed mild hot flashes just running warmer than usual and more frequent UTI's which the doctor said my age is expected.
My periods have been wonky my whole life. Once I went SIX months without a period (I didn't miss them!), and sometimes I'll go a fortnight without them and then they'll be back! I'm 40 now and I'm still teaching myself about perimenopause so I can be reasonably prepared, hopefully.
I have been going thru same thing
I’m 35 and experiencing this
38 and feeling this too
How is your cycle? Right now I’ve been spotting for 4 days now. And wondering what’s going on. My cycle does suppose to come on soon.
38 and maybe going through this.
I’m 36 & experiencing peri. It’s been going on for a number of years… It’s horribly debilitating. Especially for those experiencing it early on when we have little ones running around and are trying to work/raise a family. Husbands just don’t understand and it isn’t talked about enough. It took me a solid 5 years and 12 doctors to figure out what was happening with my body. We need more awareness and better support in women’s health.
I’m 32 and having these problems 😳🤦🏼♀️
It can be uncomfortable?!?! 😆 I've heard it's more than just "uncomfortable " 😂😂😂
yes total understatement
Can we stop saying starts at age 45 please 😢😢😢😢
😅😅
It doesn t. I am 45 and nothing yet.
I eat all natural foods at home. Like fresh fruits and vegetables, plain yogurt, plain Greek yogurt, unsalted nuts, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, cilantro, parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, cardamom, cinnamon, basil, turmeric, chick peas, kidney beans, black beans, black eye peas, tofu, tempeh, edamame, spinach, kale, water, coconut water, herbal teas, etc.. The problem is, when you go out to eat, you won't get all these foods.. You'll get unhealthy food.. So, you've got to be really choosy. I try getting as much sleep as possible. Some days are better than others. Exercise??? Same thing. It depends on my energy levels. You see, I have chronic pain issues. I am a hydrocephalus patient and I also have spasticity in my legs. So, I can't do strenuous exerciseing. Each of us is different.
Is it normal to spot brown before and after periods? My period used to be 5-6 days but this last period last about 4 days. Im 42.
@oliviaj109 Thank you for your response! So you're not automatically worried about cancer? 😬 I went for a pelvic exam and will be getting a transvaginal ultrasound soon.
I’ve spotted brown after but not before.
Yes brown spotting both before and after is normal. It's the body regulating the slow down to eventually end menses entirely.
Me too! I hear it can be from adrenal fatigue burnout…I have Lyme disease I’m trying to get over. Anyone trying to get their period back?
@@-living4jesus4ever- Wow. I did not know that.
Can you get pregnant (first time) at 38 when you have low estrogen and menopausal symptoms.
As far as I know, you definitely can get pregnant as long as you still have your monthly periods! I stand to be corrected...
I'll be 54 by June 23rd, I've never felt all this symptoms but my period stopped flowing last year December . What do you think?
I think you're a lucky one,but my mom is not 😑👍
@@lucyboyajian1624 My period started again and is regular. Thank for for His miracles.
I’m 50 been off depo provers since October of last year. I have itchy skin at night, dizziness, only had two short periods, anxiety , hot n cold and low libido. Is this all normal?
Yes
Have you gotten any tests done?
And you had 2 short periods in entire year right? Is that correct
My itchy skin turned out to be low B12
@@arlenebayron2448 and the rest?

Does the phase during transition to menopause cause change in bowel movement including having IBS like symptoms
I was a mess from my mid 30's to age 45 when I finally quit having periods.
What if you don’t have a family doctor, timely access to a gynecologist, and have a gene mutation that causes blood clotting so that hormone therapy isn’t option?
Please someone should help me, by explaining to me how the hot or cold flashes is like in the body.
I am definitely perimenopausal! I have mood swings and I am angry all the time. I cant sleep and I am all over the place lately! My petiods are all over the place. And I am bleeding more and in pain more!
I won't go for hormone therapy because my moods are very much the same, I'm asexual so I'm more or less the same, libido was never really much. I think this is menopause and a true answer to my prayers, praise the name of Jesus Christ for that grace, hallelujah. Every experience we have in life is a testament of the grace of God and menopause is a true answer to my prayers.
Hormone therapy does more than just improve moods
Ty for posting I'm 47 and have night sweats...have had hot flashes since I was 45
I can relate to this at 46,yrs old I feel drained and doomed,,
Ditto
Talk to your Dr ????? My wife asked for a mammogram and her Dr said she didn’t need one, she was to young. My wife is 43.
That happened to me...
Im 39 is it possible before the age at 45??
It is definitely possible at age 39. The average age is 51 but it varies depending on the woman.
Yes! My mom was finished menopause at 43 years old… I am 40 and have been experiencing perimenopausal symptoms like night sweats, irregular periods, forgetfulness and dry skin for at least the last 6 years. Early menopause usually runs in the family…
I started experiencing perimenopause at 37 years old and I am now 39 still experiencing these symptoms. It can definitely start before the age of 40.
I'm 59 bleed one day. Like the weather
I'm 37 and starting to miss periods but still having cramps that are duller than b4, and heavy bleeding for 15 years
I’m 36 suffering from vaginal dryness, vaginal irritation 🥺 an constant BV. Mood swings, hot flashes night sweats the list goes on 😩. An no period for 3 months 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️. Anyone have any advice?
I take a new med called trazadone small dose it's helps with sleep anixety and depression whole going through the change
The night sweats hot flashes up and down hormones are terrible period like a Rolla coaster, I don't know if that med will help but it is successful for a lot of people,
Please look for Menopearl. Those are natural pills that helped me in all this nightmare. I am 42 now and i had and still have the full version of symptoms. The most of everything i tryed is Menopearl . Before i found these supplements i even had 2 sessions of laser procedures for vaginal rejuvenation with Fotona Laser , which helps the collagen and hialuronic acid sinteze. I am so lucky that my gynecologist is a very very well trained doctor willing to help and knowledgeable in this so difficult spectrum. I live in Romania , we have many many plants based traditions here and a huge natural shop and that is something that helps me avoid the hormonal substitute which I do not agree with due to so many side effects. Please feel free to ask me anything you need maybe i can help you telling about herbs and natural remedies for your so uncomfortable moments you have now. And anyone who can read me , girls please try Acupuncture!!! That’s working absolutely magical for every single peri symptom! Go search for a good acupuncturist who knows what he/she is doing and you will get your life back🙏 that is what i did🤩 God bless us all🙏
I'm 40 and my peried come 2 weeks early
I'm 42 and it came a week early. And for 3 days before it started I spotted brown and now that it's over I'm spotting again. Have you experienced the spotting before too?
Yes I have

Look into adrenal support supplements with adaptogens like ashwaganda. Adrenals have to kick in when ovaries start quitting
men should be protected when women go in meno,its devastating even after years together.,i love her so much but sometimes,everytime its so so hard.
Some women have said many divorces could be prevented if women could just get adequate care from doctors on their symptoms. Too often it was just "suck it up" or xanax, but now bio identical HRT custom formulated, home remedies soy, Dhea, along with exercise, diet changes. What have you heard helps your spouse?
@@jr.6199 nothing particular,and indeed divorce was almost there if she did not clearly told and prestited not to part,so we didnt.
But no,no helpfull curve from the doctor.
Sorry you're both going through this. I have terrible symptoms, and dread to think what my husband would have to put up with if I was married! Please try and be forgiving and loving, because you can not control the mood swings and irritability etc, they are literally too strong to get under control, they control you, it is awful. Wishing you both all the best ❤️
Way to make it about yourself.
@@lavinder11 its a union, just as in the role of a caregiver of another's serious illness. When people recognize this affects up to 40% of the population, to the point of breaking up marriages, careers, families...then we may find solutions before the worst happens to all involved. But you go with quips and trolling spouses who open up, to see if that helps,

Hot flashes and body pain
I guess I am lucky. I have no symptoms and I am 45.
51 is average age of actual menopause.

I’m 35 and burning up!!
Im 39 and scared of this
Don’t be scared! Get informed! So when the time comes you aren’t surprised and confused and know your options. Look up peri-menopause and menopause doctors on RUclips. Get all the pros and cons of the possible medications available, symptoms etc. it’s the same as puberty but in reverse.
Drink water aim for 2 litres + per day. Eat low fat low sugar and good diet

Sounds awful….god
I am 45 and just realized that my body is reacting to almost everything I eat. Bloating, puffy eyes and face in general, swollen feet and legs, stomach ache, gas buildup etc I can go from very fit and slim on one day to looking like a swollen … the next day. It’s frustrating, I have always exercised and try to eat healthy foods but right now, I don’t even know what I can eat anymore. Does this have anything to do with menopause? 🫣
This sounds like IBS. I’ve just discovered I have Gerd, a more intense version of IBS and have cut out a huge amount of my regular diet and have found a clear difference! Perhaps google the gerd diet and give it a go and see how it makes you feel? Citrus, dairy, onions, garlic, fats, caffeine and smoking are the worst culprits.
Hi I'm actually here because my mom is experiencing the same and I'm kinda worried with her. thats why I wwatch videos related to perimenopause. and saw your.comment. my mom also experience the same as yours. she even have trouble sleeping at night or she can't sleep at all. so yeah, it makes me worried.
Piermenopause here.....oh the abdominal pain is crucial constipation is speratic.. gassy most of the time ...I have Gerd as well I'm taking meds for that and another pill to coat my stomach....anyone else have these issues!
Wow! Thank you for all your comments! Now I no longer feel like an alien! I will google GERD and see! Wishing us all much courage and strength as we manoeuvre this stage of life! As if we haven't suffered enough! Tsuiiiip( sighing with my Cameroonian tongue! )
Read about estrogen dominance and histamine intolerance. I’m in early peri and have this. High estrogen causes high histamine and high histamine encourages more estrogen production. A nasty cycle - can cause food intolerances, digestive issues, hives/rashes, allergies, itching, swollen face, migraines etc - the list goes on. Maybe try a low histamine/anti inflammatory diet and see a Naturopath about a DUTCH hormone test. DIM can help detox excess estrogen and you may need progesterone.
