Perimenopause can begin as early as 30 years old, but typically age 40-44 is when most women begin to experience common symptoms such as change in menstrual periods, hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog, joint pain, vaginal dryness. Perimenopause lasts about 7 years.
Because everyone is affected by menopause, it is important to understand how to identify, manage and prevent discomfort (and disease) so we can live our fullest potential.
MAUD Medical is excited to visit your workplace as Dr. Jennifer Adams provides a crash course on Menopause and shares evidence based treatments available in Canada.
