Considering the changes in your body and confusing reports in the media, menopause or perimenopause can be overwhelming. During this time of transition, awareness of your health is more important than ever.

- Loss of sex drive and vaginal dryness
- Irregular periods, heavy menstrual cycles and/or frequent spotting
