In this episode of SkinScope Dermatology Podcast, Dr. Sandra and Dr. George are joined by gynecologist Dr. Arzu Arinkan (MD, PhD) to discuss perimenopause, menopause, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

Many women experience symptoms of perimenopause years before menopause, including hot flashes, sleep problems, brain fog, mood changes, skin aging, weight gain, and hormonal imbalance. Yet this phase is often misunderstood or ignored.

Dr. Arzu explains how hormonal changes affect the brain, skin, bones, heart, and metabolism, when menopause hormone therapy may be recommended, and why early treatment during perimenopause can improve quality of life and long-term health.

We also discuss the latest evidence and updated guidance on hormone replacement therapy, including who can benefit from estrogen therapy, progesterone therapy, and personalized HRT treatments.

If you want to understand the early symptoms of perimenopause, the role of estrogen and progesterone, and how hormones influence skin health, aging, and overall wellbeing, this episode is for you.
