A short YouTube clip by Sachin Patel (uploaded July 3, 2023) explaining hormonal behavior in very early perimenopause: the speaker asserts that most women experience high and fluctuating estrogen — sometimes spiking up to three times younger levels — which may cause heavy periods, breast pain, and irritability; when estrogen drops it may lead to night sweats and depression. The speaker promises future reels discussing strategies to manage these symptoms.

Contrary to popular belief in the very early stages of perimenopause, for most women, you'll most likely experience high and fluctuating levels of estrogen. In some cases, it can spike up to three times what it was when you were younger. These spikes can cause symptoms such as heavy periods, breast pain, and irritable moods. And when the estrogen levels drop, it can cause night sweats and depression. Stay tuned to my coming reels, where I'll talk about some strategies to help with some of these symptoms.
