Perimenopause is the transitional phase leading up to menopause, typically occurring in women in their 40s. During this time, hormonal fluctuations can cause a variety of symptoms, including irregular menstrual cycles, hot flashes, mood changes, sleep disturbances, and weight gain. Understanding this transition is essential for effective management and support.
