Firstly, what is perimenopause?
You may have heard this word a lot lately but what exactly does it mean? Well, essentially perimenopause is the period of time before actual menopause –when some women experience symptoms that indicate a change is happening.
What are the most common perimenopause symptoms?
Every woman is different – and while some may be lucky enough to experience little or no symptoms at all, others really do suffer with a whole host of complaints which can include; poor sleep, night sweats, irregular periods, increased anxiety, itchy skin, low libido, hot flushes and so much more.
At what age do most women experience perimenopause and menopause?
Perimenopause usually starts in the mid to late 40’s but again this can vary hugely and it can be much earlier. The average age of menopause is 50.
