Understanding Menopause Stages
What is Perimenopause?
Perimenopause is the transitional period before menopause when your body begins to make less estrogen. It typically starts in your 40s but can begin earlier. During this time, you may experience irregular periods, hot flashes, sleep disturbances, mood changes, and other symptoms. Perimenopause can last anywhere from a few months to several years.
What is Menopause?
Menopause is officially diagnosed after you've gone 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period. The average age of menopause is 51, but it can occur anywhere between ages 45 and 55. After menopause, you enter postmenopause, which lasts for the rest of your life. Many symptoms experienced during perimenopause may continue or improve during this stage.
Common Symptoms to Track
Common symptoms that may indicate perimenopause or menopause include:
- Irregular or missed periods
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Sleep disturbances and insomnia
- Mood changes, anxiety, or depression
- Vaginal dryness and discomfort
- Decreased libido
- Brain fog and memory issues
- Weight gain and slowed metabolism
- Joint and muscle aches
- Hair thinning or skin changes
When to See a Healthcare Provider
You should consult a healthcare provider if you're experiencing symptoms that affect your quality of life, have concerns about your menstrual cycle changes, are interested in hormone therapy or other treatments, or want to discuss preventive health measures for postmenopause. Your doctor can perform blood tests, evaluate your symptoms, and create a personalized treatment plan.
