Menopause and Perimenopause Defined
- Menopause is confirmed 12 months after your last period and lasts forever.
- Perimenopause, the transition phase, can begin 4-10 years prior, marked by fluctuating hormones.
Hormonal Changes During Menopause
- Estrogen production shifts from cyclical to erratic in perimenopause, finally dropping to zero in menopause.
- This drastic change, not just the lack of estrogen, causes various symptoms.
Progesterone and Testosterone's Role
- Women produce progesterone after ovulation to prepare for pregnancy.
- Testosterone, linked to libido and secondary sexual characteristics, declines in women starting in their 30s.
