Perimenopause Symptom Self-Assessment

Perimenopause is more than symptom management – it’s about staying healthy from head to toe after age 35. Self-care is the place to start for mid-life health: diet, exercise, relaxation, and nutritional supplements. Nearly two-thirds of women find that self-care is enough to manage hormonal symptoms. For some, however, self-care isn’t enough to alleviate uncomfortable symptoms, or to provide long-term benefit to the heart, bones, and brain.

Symptoms associated with Perimenopause are as individual as the women suffering from them. For the Self-Assessment below, we have narrowed the selection of symptoms to those most commonly reported.

Complete the Self-Assessment by rating the degree of severity (none to severe) you are experiencing for each symptom listed below. Click on one choice for each symptom, then click on ‘Calculate Score’ for an automated total. Compare your personal score with the chart at the bottom of the questionnaire to discover the Action Steps that may be right for you.
