Are you suffering from lesser known perimenopause symptoms such as skin, hair and nail changes? For many, the depletion in hormones such as oestrogen can directly cause these changes. For some, it's stress on the body due to the other changes perimenopause causes.
I see this so often in clinic, with women saying they feel guilty or 'vain' for even mentioning it as its not seen as a major health problem.
But no symptom should be dismissed. If its affecting how you feel in your self, it's important. For some, these changes can cause loss of confidence.
There are various treatments such as HRT and non hormonal medicines. Stress, lack of exercise (which leads to poor blood flow), and poor nutrition can also play a huge impact, and modifying these will often help.
The next step, may be to check you are not deficient in for example iron or b12.
Some women find benefit from over the counter creams and shampoos. Sometimes these only provide temporary relief, so be careful not to get drawn in by clever advertising.
