Perimenopause is the time frame preceding the menopause. Even if your periods have not ended, you may begin to experience menopausal symptoms during perimenopause. Usually, your estrogen levels begin to decline prior to the cessation of your periods.
Research indicates that women are less likely to have heart health issues prior to menopause, but as menopause draws near, their risk rises. The period of time between the ages of 45 and 55 when you stop getting periods and lose your ability to conceive naturally is known as menopause. Your ovaries stop generating an egg each month and produce less oestrogen, which causes your periods to stop. The majority of menopausal symptoms are primarily caused by a decrease in estrogen.
