What is Perimenopause?
Perimenopause is the transitional period before menopause, usually beginning in your late 30s or early 40s. During this time, hormone levels fluctuate, causing changes in your menstrual cycle and a variety of physical and emotional symptoms. Perimenopause can last anywhere from 4 to 10 years.
Common Symptoms
- Irregular Periods: Your menstrual cycle may become unpredictable.
- Hot Flashes & Night Sweats: Sudden bursts of heat and sweating.
- Mood Swings: Hormonal shifts can affect your mood.
- Sleep Issues: Trouble falling or staying asleep.
- Low Libido & Vaginal Dryness: Decreased sexual desire and comfort.
