A member asked:
I am 48 years old and have entered perimenopause. besides hot flashes, what can i expect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: Many women experience hot flashes, vaginal dryness, mood swings, insomnia, and dry skin - among other symptoms. Of great concern is the increased risk for stroke, heart attack, colon cancer, alzheimer's disease, and osteoporosis. Talk to your doctor about these symptoms, risks, and the possible treatments.
