abstract: Perimenopausal women are assuming increasing importance in the practice of obstetrics and gynecology. While continuing to have reproductive concerns, such as attaining or preventing pregnancy, these women are confronted with a decline in estrogen levels and the inherent protection estrogen provides against osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. Preventive care, life style modification, and early diagnosis and intervention can play a valuable role in maintaining patients' overall health and quality of life.
