Perimenopause is the transitional phase leading up to menopause, usually starting in your 40s, though it can begin earlier for some women. This stage can last anywhere from a few years to over a decade, with the average duration being around 4-5 years. Recognising the early signs is essential for managing symptoms and taking steps to support your body. Understanding what’s happening can make this transition smoother, empowering you to make informed choices about your health and well-being.
