Perimenopause

Pre-menopause , usually thought to start in one’s 40′s, now often starts in one’s late 30′s. This phase is marked by decreased production of estrogen and progesterone and irregular periods. A popular misconception is that menopause symptoms don’t start until a woman has no periods. In reality, the hormonal changes that begin in pre-menopause can result in menopause symptoms like hot flashes, weight gain, insomnia, fatigue and mood swings, occurring in this phase.
