What Is Perimenopause and Menopause?

Perimenopause1 is the transition leading up to menopause, when hormone levels begin to fluctuate. Menopause2 is reached when menstrual cycles have stopped for 12 consecutive months.

During this time, changes in estrogen and progesterone can affect both physical and emotional health.

Common Perimenopause Symptoms

Perimenopause and menopause can show up in different ways. You may notice:

  • Mood swings or increased irritability
  • Anxiety or feelings of restlessness
  • Trouble sleeping or insomnia
  • Fatigue or low energy
  • Difficulty concentrating (“brain fog”)
  • Hot flashes or night sweats
  • Changes in libido
  • Feeling unlike yourself emotionally

These symptoms can show up differently for everyone, and sometimes feel more intense or disruptive than you expected.
