What to do
The advice is to go to your doctor as soon as you recognize some of the typical symptoms of premenopause who can reassure you, also giving you the necessary help. Usually for premenopause it is not necessary to take drugs, but given the strong subjectivity of the thing it depends on case by case.
However, it seems that there are products that are excellent adjuvants. A few examples? The hairy dioscorea, which was even used by the Aztecs, is able to balance hormones and also relieves breast tenderness.

Sexual desire

Hormones start to throw tantrums and therefore it is possible that this also has repercussions on sexual activity: we respond less to erogenous stimuli and desire drops. This can happen for both physical and psychological reasons: on the one hand we have pain due to to vaginal dryness and on the other the anxiety of the arrival of menopause, which women still tend to experience with a negative approach.

Risk of pregnancy

Most women are convinced that the risk of becoming pregnant is almost zero when you enter premenopause. However, this is not the case: the fertility rate is lower, but in some cases the cycle continues to be ovulatory and therefore fruitful. In short, to avoid unwanted pregnancies, continue to be careful, choosing (perhaps with the help of your gynecologist) the most suitable method of contraception for the moment you are experiencing.
