The menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years, when periods stop permanently due to declining levels of the hormones oestrogen and progesterone.
It is officially diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a period. Most women experience menopause between the ages of 45 and 55, although it can occur earlier — known as early or premature menopause — or later.
The years leading up to this point are called the perimenopause, when hormone levels begin to fluctuate and symptoms may start to appear.
The perimenopause is the transitional phase leading up to the menopause, when hormone levels — particularly oestrogen and progesterone — begin to fluctuate. This stage can last for several years and often starts in a woman’s 40s, although some may notice changes earlier.
During the perimenopause, periods may become irregular, lighter, or heavier, and many women experience symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, mood changes, brain fog, and sleep disturbances.
While these changes are completely natural, they can also be disruptive. Understanding what is happening and receiving the right support can make a significant difference to your quality of life during this time.
