Ep 39 | Weird Symptoms of Perimenopause

Perimenopause: where your body starts doing weird things and then gaslights you about it. 

In this episode of OvaryActive, Dr. Amy Voedisch and Dr. Rebecca Dunsmoor-Su dive into the “wait…what?” symptoms. Those random, head-scratching changes that pop up during the menopause transition. Think asthma out of nowhere, itchy ears that won’t quit, or sudden dizziness that makes you question your balance and your sanity. Is it hormones? Is it aging? Is it both? Welcome to the gray area.

They are sharing what little research exists, where estrogen might be playing a role, and why so many of these symptoms live in the frustrating “we’re not totally sure” category. 

They also talk about whether menopausal hormone therapy helps, hurts, or lands squarely in the “we’ll have to try and see” bucket.

Most importantly, this episode reinforces a core truth: you’re not making this up. You’re definitely not alone. And you’re NOT crazy. This is really happening.
