SCARLET PERIOD BLOG | Is It Perimenopause? What Are The Signs?

Ah, your 40s. A time of power moves, career wins, and maybe even a few unexpected changes. Enter, perimenopause, the intro act to menopause that can last anywhere from a few years to a decade. Buckle up because it can bring a rollercoaster of symptoms:

 

Energy dips

Feeling like you need a nap after brunch? Fluctuating estrogen levels can zap your usual get-up-and-go. Consider adaptogens like ashwagandha to manage stress and boost energy.

 

Weight changes

Unexplained weight gain or stubborn pounds? It's a common perimenopause struggle. Focus on a balanced diet and regular exercise to stay healthy and strong.

 

Heavy or irregular periods

Perimenopause can mess with your cycle, leading to heavier or irregular periods, or even skipped ones altogether. Embrace Scarlet’s leak-proof Period Underwear for added comfort and confidence during this time.

 

Vaginal dryness

This uncomfortable symptom can affect intimacy and cause irritation. Opt for lubricants formulated for sensitive skin to help alleviate dryness and discomfort.

 

Remember, you are not alone! Experiencing these changes doesn't mean your life is over; it simply means your body is entering a new phase. By understanding the signs of perimenopause, you can navigate this transition with confidence and embrace the exciting possibilities that lie ahead.
