What is peri-menopause?
As the function of the ovaries declines less oestrogen is produced and a number of symptoms can begin to appear. This can start as early as 10 years before the menopause, so generally any time in your 40’s you can begin to experience some of the typical menopausal symptoms. (See symptom checker).
Symptoms fluctuate throughout the month and as a result of this it is often difficult to use oestradiol (oestrogen) blood tests as a clear indication of your levels. It is usually recommended that you go by your symptoms.
Menopause
You are only actually menopausal for one day and that day is classed as a year since your last menstrual period. After this you are post-menopausal, but it is often just referred to as being menopausal.
*All menopause guidance given is in accordance with the BMS (British Menopausal Society) guidelines.
