Perimenopause is the ultimate insult for being female! For me, I had intense flow and clotting for a couple of years until a bit of hormonal treatment helped with that. There were suggestions that a hysterectomy could fix things, but I wanted to keep my factory parts, if possible. Finally, my doctor sadly told me that my bloodwork showed I was menopausal. He was surprised by my glee. I was super happy not to need tampons any longer on my move to Asia.
