What is Perimenopause?

Perimenopause is the transitional stage that begins when menstrual cycles become irregular and ends one year after the last period. It typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, although the age can vary from woman to woman.

During this period, hormone levels, especially estrogen, gradually decline, causing symptoms that can affect a woman's quality of life.

Symptoms of Perimenopause

Perimenopause symptoms can vary in intensity and frequency. The most common include:

Frequent:

• Changes in menstrual cycles: irregular periods, heavier or lighter bleeding.
• Hot flashes and night sweats: sudden episodes of heat accompanied by sweating.
• Insomnia: difficulty falling or staying asleep.
• Mood swings: irritability, sadness or anxiety.
• Vaginal dryness: decreased lubrication, which can cause discomfort.

Less frequent:

• Palpitations: sensation of accelerated or irregular heartbeat.
• Brain fog: difficulty concentrating or remembering things.
• Weight gain: especially in the abdominal area.
• Headaches: more intense or frequent.

Causes of Perimenopause

During perimenopause, estrogen levels progressively decline, which can lead to:

• Hormonal fluctuations: Estrogen levels can decrease by up to 20% per year, causing the symptoms mentioned above.
• Duration: This period can last between 2 and 10 years, with 4 years being the average.

In specific cases, factors such as premature menopause, gynecological surgeries, or medical treatments can advance or intensify this stage.
