Hello Ahms,
Welcome to the EmpowHER community.
A woman reaches menopause once she has not had a period for 12 consecutive months.
Perimenopause is the period of transition when estrogen levels fluctuate and cause classic symptoms.
Women in perimenopause have at least some these symptoms:
hot flashes
breast tenderness
worse premenstrual syndrome
lower sex drive
fatigue
irregular periods
vaginal dryness; discomfort during sex
urine leakage when coughing or sneezing
urinary urgency (an urgent need to urinate more frequently)
mood swings
trouble sleeping
