Perimenopause vs. menopause

The transition to menopause usually occurs across several years. The transition time when a woman’s body moves to full menopause is known as perimenopause.

Perimenopause

The years before menopause are often the most challenging. This transition phase may include irregular periods, hormonal fluctuations, mood swings, hot flashes, and trouble sleeping.

Menopause

After 12 consecutive months without a menstrual cycle, a woman has entered menopause. This signals an end to fertility and often presents with new symptoms like vaginal dryness and bone density changes.
