You may be surprised to learn that yeast infections can be a perimenopause symptom. At the least yeast infections are inconvenient, but they are often uncomfortable too. Why do yeast infections become more common during perimenopause? What are natural ways to handle yeast infections?

 

Perimenopause symptoms occur as a result of changing hormone levels. Both estrogen and progesterone levels decline during perimenopause, but it is the estrogen levels specifically that lead to the increased susceptibility for vaginal infections. In fact, both yeast infections and bacterial infections (like bacterial vaginosis) are more common during perimenopause.
