What is Peri and Menopause
Every Woman will go through Menopause. The average woman will go through menopause in her early 50’s but some experience sooner. Perimenopause is the time leading up to the menopause, it is a normal biological process. It is our bodies way of transitioning from fertility into menopause. This can happen for no reason at all or can be brought on by certain medical reasons.
If you are under the age of 45 and are experiencing or showing symptoms, talk to your health care professional who can provide you with a plan to manage your symptoms.
