Early-Stage Management

In early perimenopause, it is important to monitor symptoms. It can be used to monitor changes in the cycles, sleep patterns and mood. Milder symptoms are commonly mitigated by changing one's way of life, including routine exercise, proper dieting and stress management.

Mid to Late-Stage Support

The more the symptoms are pronounced, the more medical guidance is required. Hormonal, supplement, or non-hormonal support can be prescribed depending on the requirements. Use of an online pharmacy to get the treatment helps keep the symptoms in check and in a low-profile manner particularly when the women find it difficult to make appointments at the clinic.
