Perimenopause doesn't mean low estrogen. It means unpredictable estrogen.
I've seen the highest estrogen levels of my career in perimenopausal patients. That's right, the highest. Their ovaries are like a sputtering car, revving up and down instead of running smoothly.
This matters because fluctuating hormones affect everything from your intimate health to your desire for intimacy. And here's what I want you to remember: intimacy isn't just about pleasure. It's a primary urge, like hunger or sleep, and it's directly connected to the number one predictor of long term health, your relationships with other people.
If you're experiencing changes you can't explain, that doesn't make them any less real. Your body is going through something significant, and understanding what's actually happening is the first step.
Save this if you're in perimenopause or know someone who is.
