What is perimenopause?

Answered By Macy Waltersson and Brian Laing, Editors


Menopause has three stages, namely: perimenopause, menopause, and post menopause. Perimenopause is the period during which women experience gradual changes in their body which will automatically lead to menopause. The woman's hormones, feelings, and body are usually affected. This is also called the 'climacteric' period, wherein hormone production gradually slows down. Since the hormone levels fluctuate, the woman will experience certain changes similar to changes that adolescents encounter during adolescence transformation period. Perimenopause begins at an average age of 51, but some women in their 30's claim that they are already undergoing perimenopause. They encounter a lot of symptoms including vasomotor instability and psychological changes.
