Perimenopause, or premenopause, is the transitional stage leading up to menopause. This period typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 50.
Irregularities in the menstrual cycle during these years are the most common symptom of perimenopause. Menstrual changes at this stage are due to a decrease in the female sex hormones, estrogen and progesterone.
In addition to menstrual irregularities, women may also experience hot flashes, loss of sexual desire, abdominal bloating, etc.
