Menopause fatigue is an exhaustion that cannot be resolved with more sleep. It can make you feel like your energy has bottomed out. Feeling fatigued is among the top symptoms reported by women in the menopausal transition.
Menopausal fatigue is due in large part to hormone changes and the downstream effects. The levels of estrogen and progesterone are changing all at once and these interact with the endocrine hormones associated with energy from the adrenal and thyroid. This instability can be hard for the body and can lead to crushing menopausal fatigue.
Feeling tired goes hand-in-hand with another common perimenopausal symptom—trouble sleeping. When you’re waking up frequently at night or have trouble falling asleep, it’s little wonder that the next day you feel drained with poor sleep quality.
Every woman's experience of menopause is as unique as she is. We'll first review your medical history, family history, and gynecological history prior to your telemedicine visit.
During the video visit, you'll share your experience with menopause, starting with your quality of life and other menopausal symptoms you're experiencing (such as menopausal fatigue or anxiety).
We'll recommend supplements, vitamins, as well as lifestyle and diet changes, to help boost energy levels, improve sleep hygiene, and lifestyle changes.
Based on your health history, we’ll review therapies and medications that can help improve your fatigue. Our doctors may suggest further testing options to rule out other issues that could be contributing to fatigue.
