title: Management of perimenopausal symptoms.
abstract: The perimenopausal period brings about many changes. The significance of many of the signs and symptoms associated with menses also may change. Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and uterine bleeding need close follow-up during the perimenopausal period. Urinary incontinence appears to worsen because of hormonal changes occurring during the climacteric. All three of these conditions present a special challenge to the health care practitioner.
