Perimenopause vs. Thyroid Issues: What’s Really Going On?

Is it perimenopause, or is it your thyroid? Many women over 45 face this confusing question as they navigate fatigue, weight gain, and mood changes.

Similar Symptoms:

  • Low energy
  • Brain fog
  • Hair thinning
  • Mood changes
  • Irregular cycles

Differentiating Factors:

  • Perimenopause: Irregular periods, night sweats, breast tenderness, worsened PMS
  • Thyroid issues: Cold intolerance, dry skin, constipation, slow heart rate

Pharmacist’s Take:

Both conditions are treatable. Thyroid issues often require medication, while perimenopause symptoms may be addressed with lifestyle changes, herbal support, or bioidentical hormones.
