Are Your Hormones in Balance? Take Our Peri/Menopause Symptom Score

As women transition through perimenopause and menopause, hormonal changes can bring about a range of physical, emotional, and cognitive symptoms. Some women experience subtle shifts, while others face more significant challenges that impact their daily lives. If you’ve been noticing changes in your mood, energy levels, sleep, or overall well-being, it may be time to assess how menopause is affecting you.

Understanding Perimenopause and Menopause Perimenopause is the stage leading up to menopause, often beginning in a woman’s 40s but sometimes earlier. It can last several years and is marked by fluctuating hormone levels that may cause symptoms such as irregular periods, hot flushes, night sweats, anxiety, and brain fog. Menopause is officially reached when a woman has gone 12 months without a period, typically around the age of 50. However, symptoms can persist beyond this stage as the body adjusts to lower hormone levels.

Why Tracking Your Symptoms Matters Many women assume that menopause symptoms are just something they have to endure, but that’s not the case. Understanding your symptoms and their severity can help you make informed decisions about lifestyle changes, supplements, or medical treatments such as hormone therapy. By tracking your symptoms over time, you and your doctor can develop a personalised approach to managing your health.

Take Our Peri/Menopause Symptom Score To help you better understand how menopause may be impacting you, we’ve created a simple Peri/Menopause Symptom Score Questionnaire. This self-assessment tool allows you to rate the severity of common symptoms, giving you insight into whether your symptoms are mild, moderate, or severe.

What Your Score Means Mild Symptoms (0–10): You may experience occasional discomfort, but symptoms are manageable with lifestyle adjustments.
Moderate Symptoms (11–25): Symptoms are more noticeable and may be affecting your sleep, mood, or daily activities. A consultation with a doctor may help you explore treatment options.
Severe Symptoms (26+): Symptoms are significantly impacting your quality of life. Medical support, including hormone therapy or other treatments, may be beneficial.
