Viva Perimenopause Care
Perimenopause is the transition before menopause, when menstrual patterns and symptoms may change while periods still occur. A shorter or longer cycle, hot flashes, night sweats, or disrupted sleep can raise questions, but not every change is caused by this transition.
About this program
Pregnancy, medicines, thyroid conditions, and other problems may need consideration. An assessment starts with your usual pattern, the dates and amount of bleeding, symptoms between periods, and their effect on daily life. It also reviews contraception, current medicines, and relevant health history.
A single hormone result does not explain every changing cycle; tests are chosen for the question being investigated. Care discussions may include symptom support, hormonal or nonhormonal options when appropriate, and evaluation of abnormal bleeding. This programme does not establish access to imaging, uterine sampling, or an onsite procedure.
Bring a cycle record if available, but do not delay care for concerning bleeding while collecting one. Request an assessment through the main Viva Centers appointment page and confirm the provider, location, services, and cost. Heavy bleeding with fainting or breathing difficulty requires emergency care rather than a routine appointment.

Insurance informationSee how to bookFrequently asked questions
How is perimenopause different from menopause?
Periods can still occur during perimenopause. Menopause is usually recognized after twelve months without a period, with attention to treatments that affect bleeding.
Are irregular periods always perimenopause?
No. Pregnancy, contraception, medicines, thyroid conditions, and other causes may need evaluation.
Should I bring a cycle diary?
Yes, if available. Dates, amount of bleeding, and associated symptoms help explain the pattern; concerning bleeding should not wait for a completed diary.
Will one hormone test settle the diagnosis?
Not necessarily. Symptoms, history, and selected testing are interpreted together rather than relying on a universal panel.
Can symptom treatment be discussed before periods stop?
Yes. Appropriate options depend on your symptoms, history, and individual risks, not only whether periods have ended.
Does a visit include an onsite uterine procedure?
This page does not establish procedure availability. Confirm any recommended testing, provider, receiving service, and cost separately.
What bleeding information helps an assessment?
Record the timing, duration, and amount of bleeding, including bleeding between periods or after sex. Note medicines and contraception that may affect the pattern. These details help determine the next question to investigate; they do not establish that a change is harmless or caused by perimenopause.
Should I wait for a complete cycle record before seeking help?
No. A record is useful when available, but concerning symptoms should be assessed without waiting for several cycles. Heavy bleeding with fainting, chest pain, or breathing difficulty requires emergency care. Persistent unexpected bleeding can need further evaluation even when other symptoms seem consistent with the transition.
Urgent symptoms
- Call 911 for heavy bleeding with fainting, chest pain, or shortness of breath. Do not wait for a routine programme appointment.
- Possible pregnancy with severe pelvic pain or fainting needs emergency assessment
- Arrange prompt evaluation for bleeding after twelve months without a period
Call 911 for a life-threatening emergency.
Urgent guidance →When we refer
Persistent abnormal bleeding, uncertain diagnosis, or symptoms suggesting early loss of ovarian function may require gynecologic assessment. Outside imaging and procedures require separate confirmation.
