Perimenopause. Perimenopause is the phase in which ovulation and fertility begin to slowly wind down. Your hormonal levels decline and you may experience some rather unpleasant symptoms. Some of the most common perimenopausal symptoms include: Mood swings. Hot flashes. Night sweats. Vaginal dryness. Irregular periods.
The average age that women go through the menopause is 52, but a woman could start to experience menopausal symptoms between the ages of 45 and 55. The symptoms can last two to five years. Medical conditions can cause the menopause to happen much earlier, sometimes in a womanâs 20s or, in extreme cases, in childhood.
