About This Lesson
Menopause sets in after an individual has passed a full year without experiencing a menstrual period.
However, the period leading up to this time is known as perimenopause. This period generally extends for a span of three to seven years. Throughout the perimenopausal phase, there will be variations in the levels of estrogen and progesterone, accompanied by several physical and physiological transformations.
This guide will outline some of the more common symptoms you may experience.
