Perimenopause refers to the time leading up to menopause, when a woman's body begins transitioning to permanent infertility. During perimenopause, estrogen and progesterone levels fluctuate unpredictably as the ovaries gradually lose their functioning. This leads to changes in menstrual cycles along with various symptoms.
The perimenopausal transition typically begins for women in their late 30s to late 40s. On average, perimenopause lasts about 4 years but can range anywhere from a few months to over a decade before the final menstrual period.
