Perimenopause Management

Perimenopause means “around menopause” and refers to the time during which your body makes the natural transition to menopause. Once you’ve gone through 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period, you’ve officially reached menopause, and the perimenopause period is over.

Women start perimenopause at different ages. You may notice signs of progression toward menopause, such as menstrual irregularity, on average in your 40s.
