Understanding Perimenopause and its Impact
Perimenopause typically begins around the age of 35 and lasts for about 20 years, leading up to menopause. During this time, women's hormones, particularly progesterone and estrogen, fluctuate significantly, impacting their physical and mental well-being. Symptoms such as anxiety, sleep disturbances, and weight gain are common, and many women might not even recognize these as signs of hormonal changes. This period is often described as a reverse puberty, highlighting the drastic shifts in the body that can create discomfort and confusion.
