What is perimenopause?
Perimenopause is the natural beginning of menopause known as the menopausal transition stage. During this time, women may have regular or start having some irregularities in their cycle. This happens due to changes in hormone levels like oestrogen, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinising hormone (LH). Fluctuation in these hormones eventually lead to menopause. As the woman’s ovaries significantly reduce oestrogen production, leads to a number of stage-related symptoms.
How does perimenopause differ from menopause?
Perimenopause is the transitioning stage of menopause during which menstruation slowly fades and the woman is moving from child bearing years into so called ‘soul development’. During perimenopause women are still menstruating but it may start to experience irregularity and PMS type of symptoms. Once a woman has missed a period for 12 months consecutively she is officially considered to have moved into menopause.
What are they symptoms of perimenopause?
Every woman experiences perimenopause differently but common symptoms of perimenopause. These symptoms include irregular periods than usual, breast tenderness, hot flushes, night sweats, weight gain, changes in hair quality, increased heart rate, headaches, problems with concentration, muscle aches, declining sex drive, fertility problems, urinary tract infections, and so on.
When does it start and how long does it last?
Perimenopause is a natural process and should not be feared. Perimenopause can start as early as mid 30’s and last for up to 10 years before menopause is reached. Average age for perimenopause is mid 40’s. Women can still become pregnant and have a child during their perimenopause years.
