Perimenopause is a natural transition in a woman’s life, characterised by hormonal shifts that may lead to symptoms such as irregular periods, hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances. Typically beginning in the 40s, this phase can span several years as fluctuating oestrogen levels influence overall health and well-being.
