Perimenopause is also known as the menopause transition, or the years leading up to menopause. Menopause is a finite point in time one year after the final menstrual period. After it’s been 12 months since the last period, we are post-menopausal. The average age for reaching menopause in the US is 51.
Perimenopause often begins in one’s 40s, but can start earlier, and can last for a decade or longer. Common symptoms include anxiety, hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, brain fog, and changes to sex drive, though there are dozens of additional symptoms.
Roughly 75-80% of people in this life phase experience vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats).
