At ONA, we understand that perimenopause and menopause can bring a variety of physical and emotional changes. We’re here to provide detailed information on what these stages entail, what symptoms you might experience, and what options are available to help you navigate this phase of life with confidence and ease.
What are Perimenopause and Menopause?
Perimenopause is the transitional phase leading up to menopause, during which your body gradually decreases the production of hormones like estrogen and progesterone. It can begin in your 40s or earlier and last several years. Menopause officially begins when you’ve gone 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period, typically around age 51.
