Understanding Perimenopause and Menopause

Perimenopause is the phase before menopause characterized by changes like irregular periods, hot flashes, joint pain, gut challenges, and more, lasting around 7 to 10 years. Menopause itself is reached when a woman stops having periods for a year, signifying ovarian failure. Post-menopause, symptoms like hot flashes tend to improve over time, but long-term health impacts remain.
