Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

These symptoms are common during perimenopause, the time leading up to menopause when hormonal fluctuations can cause a range of physical and emotional symptoms, including sleep disturbances that may contribute to fatigue and cognitive difficulties. It is important for Alleena to talk to her healthcare provider to explore ways to manage her symptoms and optimize her health during this transition. A and B are incorrect because menopause itself does not cause these specific symptoms, and D is incorrect because the absence of menstrual flow does not automatically suggest pregnancy, especially given other symptoms that point to a potential menopausal transition.
