What is Perimenopause and Menopause?
Perimenopause is the stage leading up to menopause, where hormone levels begin to fluctuate. This phase can last several years and often brings a range of symptoms.
Menopause is defined as the point when menstrual periods have stopped for 12 consecutive months.
Both stages can affect physical, emotional, and cognitive wellbeing – and every woman’s experience is different.
Common Menopause Symptoms
Symptoms of perimenopause and menopause can vary, but commonly include:
- Hot flushes and night sweats
- Sleep disturbances
- Mood changes or anxiety
- Brain fog and difficulty concentrating
- Fatigue and low energy
- Weight changes
- Irregular periods
- Vaginal dryness
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it may be helpful to speak with a GP experienced in menopause care.
