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
