Perimenopause is the transitional phase before menopause when hormone levels begin to fluctuate, often starting in a woman’s late 30s or 40s.
Biological Explanation:
During perimenopause, ovulation becomes less consistent. This leads to fluctuating progesterone levels, often declining earlier than estrogen, creating hormonal imbalance.
Common Signs:
Irregular cycles
Mood changes
Sleep disruption
Increased stress sensitivity
What You Can Do:
Support hormonal balance early to reduce symptom intensity and improve long-term well-being.
