Perimenopause is the time leading up to menopause, when hormone levels start to fluctuate. It can last several years and may bring symptoms such as irregular periods, hot flushes, mood changes, or trouble sleeping.
Menopause is reached when you haven’t had a period for 12 months. The average age is around 51, but it can happen earlier or later. Both perimenopause and menopause are natural stages of life, and with the right support, symptoms can be managed and long-term health protected. -
Menopause symptoms vary but often include hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, irregular periods, fatigue, and vaginal dryness. Recognising these signs early can help you manage your health effectively during this natural transition.
