This guide lists homeopathic medicines that are commonly considered for perimenopause symptoms, along with the symptom picture usually associated with each one. It is general information only: homeopathic prescribing is individualised, so the right medicine depends on your complete case – please consult a qualified homeopathic doctor before taking any of them, and do not stop or change any current treatment without medical advice.
About perimenopause symptoms
Perimenopause is the transition leading up to menopause, when the ovaries gradually make less oestrogen and progesterone. It usually begins in the forties (sometimes in the late thirties) and can last several years. Periods become irregular – shorter, longer, heavier, lighter or skipped – and many women have hot flushes, night sweats, poor sleep, mood swings, anxiety, breast tenderness, vaginal dryness, low desire, headaches and difficulty concentrating. Pregnancy is still possible during this time. Very heavy bleeding, bleeding between periods or after intercourse, or periods lasting much longer than usual should be checked by a doctor, because fibroids, polyps, thyroid problems and, rarely, other conditions can look similar. Regular exercise, enough calcium and vitamin D, not smoking, limiting alcohol and caffeine, and stress management ease symptoms, and hormone therapy can be discussed with your doctor.
