Perimenopause - Harmony Hormone Care

What is perimenopause?

Perimenopause refers to the transitional stage leading up to menopause, which is the point when a woman's menstrual cycles end permanently. This phase typically begins in a woman's 40s or early 50s as her body experiences fluctuations in reproductive hormones like estrogen and progesterone.

Key aspects of perimenopause:

• It marks the transition to menopause when periods become irregular but have not yet ceased entirely
• Lasts an average of 4 years but can be longer or shorter
• Main symptom is changes in menstrual cycle - cycles may be longer/shorter, heavier/lighter, or missed altogether
• Other common symptoms:
  • Hot flashes and night sweats
  • Mood changes, trouble sleeping
  • Vaginal dryness, decreased libido
  • Fatigue, memory issues, and trouble concentrating
