Question:

My wife is having menopause symptoms. She has had an off and on menstrual cycle for a month. What is the usual prescription for these types of symptoms? She is going to see her ob/gyn within the next two days. What is going on here?

Answer:

Well, it’s great that you’re concerned, but the irregular cycle you’ve described doesn’t trigger any alarm bells. The trip to the doctor is worthwhile, however; your wife should have a checkup now that she’s experiencing perimenopause.
