Worsening allergies
Some women experience new or worsening allergies during perimenopause. Estrogen influences histamine response, so hormonal fluctuations can affect allergy severity.
How to track
- Log allergy symptoms with severity and triggers.
- Note new sensitivities that appeared during perimenopause.
- Track symptom patterns across your menstrual cycle if still cycling.
- Record environmental context (season, location, exposures).
Common context
Allergy changes may fluctuate with hormonal shifts and can sometimes resolve or change again after menopause.
What to bring to your physician
- What new allergies or sensitivities have you noticed?
- How do symptoms correlate with your cycle or other perimenopause symptoms?
- What treatments have you tried and how effective were they?
