Quiz: Are You Experiencing Perimenopause?
It could be happening and you might not even know it!
Wondering if you're experiencing what is known as perimenopause, or menopause transition? Take our quiz right now to see if that may be the case!
Perimenopause happens years before menopause actually begins in a woman's body. This is the time when the ovaries start to make less estrogen. It generally starts in a woman's 40s, but can start in some women in their early 30s. Perimenopause will continue until menopause actually begins in a woman. The average length of time is 4 years, but it can continue for 10 years, depending on when it began in a woman.
Perimenopause is not the same as premenopause, though the terms are often used interchangeably. They both occur before a woman goes through menopause, but with premenopause, a woman won't experience any menopause-related symptoms like she would with perimenopause.
