Do You Know The 3 Stages of Menopause?
Menopause is a natural transition in a woman’s life, marked by three key stages: perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause.
Perimenopause often begins in the mid to late 40s, lasting around four years, and is characterized by fluctuating estrogen levels that can cause irregular periods, hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances, symptoms that impact up to 90% of women.
Menopause is officially diagnosed when you haven’t had a period for 12 consecutive months, typically between ages 45 and 58.
After this, postmenopause begins, bringing risks like osteoporosis, heart disease, and lingering symptoms such as vaginal dryness and sleep issues.
