Perimenopause is the transitional phase leading up to menopause that can start affecting women in their thirties. Perimenopause used to occur much later, but today’s lifestyles, environmental exposures and stressors are accelerating this process.
Unlike menopause, where hormones like estrogen and progesterone stay low, perimenopause is marked by unpredictable rises and falls in hormones. These fluctuations create a hormone imbalance that essentially leads to many of the troubling symptoms involved in perimenopause. When these symptoms start occurring it does not mean menopause is on the horizon – this phase can last ten or more years before menopause occurs.
