Perimenopause is the second menopause stage a woman will experience in her life. Perimenopause represents the years immediately preceding menopause.

The majority of people discussing “menopause” and “menopause symptoms” are actually referring to “perimenopause” and “perimenopause symptoms”.

Hormonal changes in the body and menopause symptoms occur in the perimenopause stage. Decreasing female hormone production can result in menopause symptoms in some women.

The onset of perimenopause and these hormonal changes is typically between the age of 45 and 60 years old. This stage of menopause usually spans a 2 to 6 year period.
