The stat: “Twenty-one per cent of American women stated that sickness was a trigger of perimenopause. Many women find that they are more vulnerable to getting colds and flu during perimenopause.”
The reason: “Usually when someone is sick, that may involve inflammation,” says Dr. Greves. “Estrogen is anti-inflammatory. When the estrogen is going down during this perimenopausal period of time, the symptoms of menopause may be even more noticeable.”
The fix: “Because perimenopause isn’t just about fluctuating hormone levels, it’s about supporting the whole body (especially the nervous and metabolic systems) through the transitory period, you should prioritize rest, hydration, and adequate nutrition, and resume activity only as your body allows, starting with gentle physical activity like walking,” says Dr. Connor.
