Perimenopause is the transitional phase before menopause when hormone levels fluctuate, leading to symptoms like irregular periods, hot flashes, and mood changes.

Perimenopause typically lasts between 4 to 8 years, though it can vary. It ends when a woman has gone 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period, marking menopause.

Common symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, sleep disturbances, vaginal dryness, and irregular periods.

Treatment options include hormone replacement therapy (HRT), lifestyle changes (like diet and exercise), non-hormonal medications, and natural remedies such as herbal supplements.

Yes, lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, stress management techniques, and adequate sleep can significantly reduce symptom severity and improve overall well-being.

The average age of natural menopause is 51, but it can occur anytime between the late 40s and early 50s. Perimenopause, the transition period leading up to menopause, can begin several years earlier.
