Understanding Perimenopause

Perimenopause is the stage leading up to menopause when hormone levels begin to fluctuate. For many women this stage begins in their late 30s or early 40s, though the exact timing varies.

Symptoms can appear gradually and may change over time as hormone levels fluctuate.

Understanding these changes can help women feel more informed and less alone during this transition.
