The Phases of Menopause
The Phases of Menopause
Menopause is not an overnight event, but a process that unfolds over several years. The stages generally include perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause. Perimenopause is the transitional phase leading up to menopause, characterized by fluctuating hormone levels and irregular periods. Menopause is the point at which a woman has not had a period for 12 consecutive months. Postmenopause refers to the years after menopause. In this thread, let's discuss these stages in more detail, sharing experiences, resources, and advice.
