Understanding Perimenopause

Today, women spend nearly 40% of their lives post menopause, navigating a range of physical, hormonal, and emotional changes that can drastically impact their quality of life. Yet too many women are left without comprehensive support to understand these changes. In the absence of quality information and care, many women bounce from office to office, turn to social media influencers and trendy products in search of answers, often growing frustrated in the process.

At GBMC, we believe women deserve better. Information empowers women to take charge of their own health, to make choices that work for them and their lifestyle, and to navigate this time with confidence and clarity. Dr. Joan Blomquist, Chair of the Department of Urogynecology at GBMC HealthCare, led a discussion on midlife changes and how to navigate them.
