Perimenopause marks a significant transition in a woman’s life as the body gradually shifts toward menopause. This phase, which can begin as early as the late 30s and extend into the mid-50s, is characterized by fluctuating hormone levels and the gradual cessation of ovarian function. While this is a natural process, the changes that accompany perimenopause can bring a host of physical and emotional challenges that affect a woman’s quality of life.
