What Is Menopause?
Menopause marks the point when a woman hasn’t had a period for 12 consecutive months. The transition leading up to this point, known as perimenopause, can bring a wide range of physical, emotional and cognitive changes due to fluctuating hormone levels.
Common early signs of perimenopause:
- Irregular periods
- Hot flushes and night sweats
- Mood swings and anxiety
- Sleep disturbances
- Brain fog and memory issues
- Changes in libido and skin
